I wonder if we can forensically analyze our own phones to see if some nutjob with Pegasus has targeted us as well.

Thanks!
How many nutjobs with Pegasus are really running around out there?
Too many. By which I mean "more than zero". And yes, I'm including nation states as "nutjobs" for the purposes of this calculation.
I think OP is more worried about one nutjob with a lot of targets.
wouldn't that burn the capability rather quickly though?
Phegasus
If I could deploy Pegasus to randoms, I probably would. Wouldn’t do anything with it, but it’d be a cool project
You would probably have to pay for it and wouldn’t then waste the opportunity on random targets without an expected payout, right?
> you would probably have to pay for it

_probably_ is doing the heavy lifting here
