Pegasus spyware

[Danila T.]

Pegasus - spyware.

 

The Kaspersky Security Cloud for iOS product implements the Jailbreak detection functionality on iOS. This means that the user will be notified if malware tries to use the Jailbreak installation to increase privileges on the system, as is the case with the Pegasus threat.
The architectural limitations of iOS make it impossible to scan other installed applications on the system, however, we detect malicious files associated with Pegasus as Trojan-Spy.iPhoneOS.Pegasus.gen on other platforms (for example, in our products for Windows or macOS).
We detect this threat on Android devices as HEUR:Trojan-Spy.AndroidOS.Pegasus
