Best part is the Clearpill about Pegasus / Celebrite / Zerodays
Discussion
What is the clear pill on Pegasus? Could you summarize it for me?
The clearpill I took away is:
Most 'highly sophisticated and unrealistic' attack vectors will be weaponized by companies & made usable to highly incompetent government employees with the click of a button. No computer is absolutely secure, especially not complex ones, as zero-days are found, exploited & sold to private firms or stockpiled by 3-letter agencies without you nor the manufacturer ever learning about them.
Anything to add? nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8
The State is commoditizing exploits and has been for a long time. They have special contract vehicles for buying the tech from private sector to be tailor made for specific use cases. The State will also purchase entire "companies" to be honeypots for bad actors to target. Or to obfuscate their involvement.
