There's an entire "gray market" of exploit brokers. NSO group is one of the many players. There's a good chance this is an off-the-shelf exploit.

The podcast Darknet Diaries had an episode about the topic recently: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/98/

(that episode is tied to this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1635576059/ about the topic)

Also, I like that podcast in general - highly recommend it if you're into infosec stuff!



Episode 100 is specifically about NSO and dives deeper into Pegasus. Highly recommended listening after episodes 98 and 99.

Saw the thread title & clicked through to post exactly the same :)

It's a great set of episodes. This is without a doubt my favourite podcast. 2nd favourite being Knowledge Fight, which debunks Alex Jones and the nonsense that he spews on a daily basis.


That goes very well with this prior episode as background info: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/28/


Just read that book after listening to the DND episode with the author and it is really great.
