Hello, My Hatter🎩

Today I want to talk about surveillance tools like pegasus 🔭🩸

For starters what are the companies that do this .

The first thing that comes to mind is NSO, also Candiru, Download Valley, Gamma Group, Claria Corporation, Quadream, Genieo, Cellebrite, Blue Coat, Hacking Team, CyberPoint, Technologies, Cytrox, Verint also CISA about the United States can do such things, this is only a small part of such companies.
