A new study by iVerify reveals the widespread use of spyware, finding infections on the devices of business leaders, government officials, and activists. The Mobile Threat Hunting feature, available for both free and paid users, detects anomalies and signs of spyware infection. The study highlights the growing threat of spyware beyond its traditional association with targeting activists.

The company’s Mobile Threat Hunting feature uses a combination of malware signature-based detection, heuristics, and machine learning to look for anomalies in iOS and Android device activity or telltale signs of spyware infection. For paying iVerify customers, the tool regularly checks devices for potential compromise. But the company also offers a free version of the feature for anyone who downloads the iVerify Basics app for $1.

“NSO Group sells its products exclusively to vetted US & Israel-allied intelligence and law enforcement agencies,” NSO Group spokesperson Gil Lainer told WIRED in a statement. 'Our customers use these technologies daily.” iVerify vice president of research Matthias Frielingsdorf will present the group's Pegasus findings at the Objective by the Sea security conference in Maui, Hawaii on Friday.
