World went into tizzy about Pegasus however NSO group has maintained that the software was only sold to governments and not to private players .

In response to global collaborative investigative project that Israeli Pegasus was used to target 300 individuals in India. The Govt has claimed that all interception in India takes place lawfully.Communication surveillance in India takes place primarily under two laws I,E Telegraph Act 1885 which deals with interception of calls and information technology Act 2000 which deals with surveillance of all electronic communication.
Pegasus is a type of malicious or malware classified as spyware.It is designed to gain access to devices without the knowledge of users and gather personal information and relay it back to whoever it is that is using the software to spy.
Pegasus has been developed and licensed by an Israel's company NSO Group.
The earliest version of Pegasus discovered which was captured by researchers in 2016 through what is called spear phishing text messages or emails that trick a target into clicking on a malicious link. Since then however NSO's attack capabilities have become more advanced. Now the Pegasus infections can be achieved through so called zero click attacks which do not require any interaction from phone's owner.
It can be used to infiltrate smartphones that run on Android operating systems and turn them into surveillance devices.
Once the spyware enters the device, it installs a module to track call logs read messages, emails ,calendars, internet history and gather location data to send the information to the attacker.
Pegasus method of attack is called Zero click attacks which do not require any action by the user. The spyware can hack a device simply by giving a missed WhatsApp call.It can also be installed manually on a device or over a wireless transceiver.
If it fails to connect with its command and control server for more than 60 days it self destructs and removes all traces. Also if it detects that it was installed on the wrong device or SIM card. It will self-destruct .
Amnesty international noted that despite issuing security updates. Android and IOS devices were breached.
To stay safe users need to ensure that software in devices is update and all apps are installed directly through official store .No suspicious email or text should be clicked.
