The Pegasus Hacking scandal has shaken the world of technology with several high-profile names targeted.
Phone politicians, journalists, activists have been targeted through the Israel-based Pegasus NSO surveillance software.
Because the phone is the heart of hacking, Apple and Google face a lot of heat because it doesn’t make software that is quite safe.
Training his weapons in two Giants Tech is nothing but the CEO of Telegram.
Pavel Durov, the founder of the instant messaging application, said that Google and Apple have allowed the backdoor to open their system for the attack.
In a post on the Durov Telegram channel, he said, “According to Wahyu Snowden from 2013, both Apple and Google are part of the global supervision program that implies that these companies must, among other things, apply backdoors into their mobile operating systems..
Backdoors This, usually disguised as a security bug, allows US institutions to access information about any smartphone in the world.
“He further explained,” The problem with the backdoor like that is that they are never exclusive to only one party.
Can anyone exploit them.
So If US Security Agents can hack iOS or Android phones, other organizations that reveal this backdoor can do the same thing.
“Exactly what, according to Durov, NSO do with Pegasus.
Durov said that for a while now he had asked the government to act against Apple and Google.
“That’s why I have called for the world government to start acting against Apple-Google Duopoli in the smartphone market and forcing them to open their closed ecosystems and allow more competition.” This is not the first example that Durov has come out and talks against Apple.
In May, when it was reported that Apple had a different ‘rules’ for China, Durov said that “having an iPhone makes you a digital apple slave – you are only allowed to use an application that lets you install through their App Store, and you can only use iCloud Apple to back up your original data.
“He connects the” Totalitarian Approach “Apple for something adopted by China.
“It’s no wonder that Apple’s totalitarian approach is highly valued by the Chinese Communist Party, which – thanks to Apple – now has full control over the application and the data of all its citizens that rely on the iPhone.”
