Spy op uncovered in Germany

Everyone knows that your phone is spying on you… [Image](https://) Greetings Everyday Spy, Everyone knows that your phone is spying on you… But no one imagined it quite like this. Popular Russian journalist, Galina Timchenko, discovered a powerful spy program on her iPhone. Installed secretly and remotely, the spyware turned her harmless cellphone into a dangerous weapon. The program, called Pegasus, was created by the NSO Group and is one of the most powerful eavesdropping tools in the world today. In fact, the spyware is so notorious, it even forced the US Government to act quickly! President Biden signed an executive order in March 2023 prohibiting all commercial spyware, including Pegasus… Because Pegasus gives users direct access to your phone’s contact list, internal microphone, and camera. It’s what everyone fears, but no one thinks can seriously happen to them… Until now. I wanted to share this with you because Timchenko’s case is an excellent example of the perfect spy op… Even though it was uncovered, the outcome will have far-reaching impacts. Here are the three key points that stood out to me. Take a look at them from a spy’s perspective… 1. The perp is unknown, though the biggest suspects are Russia and Belarus. It’s not surprising that Russia is at the top of the suspect list… Timchenko is a Russian dissident who’s effectively banned from publishing work in her home country. But the plot thickens when you consider… 2. Pegasus was installed on Timchenko’s phone during a brief trip to Germany. The hack happening behind the borders of a Western democracy raises the risk of similar hacks happening in other Western countries. Who knows how many corporate boardrooms, government offices, and private citizens are bugged with undetectable spyware! The result: confusion, suspicion, and distrust. 3. Pegasus licenses are only sold for legitimate law enforcement purposes, and the Russian government has never bought one. Whoever installed the spyware had to obtain the license somehow. Meaning it was stolen, given, or even used by the original license holder. Spies thrive on chaos – and that’s exactly what this case created. Investigators are running around chasing their tails to figure out who installed the spyware. And while everyone involved scrambles for safety, who knows how much viable intel was stolen. And how much more is being siphoned behind enemy lines as you read this… For an inside look at the everyday spy ops happening right under your nose, [step into Shadow Lessons.]( These exclusive private interviews with real-world spies give you an inside advantage against the secret wars being waged against you, your company, and your country right now.
