iVerify reports that its consumer-facing scanner has confirmed multiple infections of Pegasus spyware—7 earlier positives from ~3,000 scans and 11 new positives from 18,000 recent scans—bringing the observed incidence to about 1.5 detections per 1,000 scans. The newly confirmed cases involve known Pegasus variants (2021–2023), target business executives across government, finance, logistics, and real estate, often involved long-term monitoring, and in roughly half the cases Apple did not notify the user, highlighting widespread, sophisticated mobile surveillance and the value of broader device scanning.
