I-Pegasus iyi-buzzword. Ithuluzi Hack for ukufinyelela yonke idatha kunoma iyiphi i-iPhone noma i-smartphone ye-Android kuyizindaba kuyo yonke imidiya. Isebenza kanjani? Ngingazi kanjani ukuthi nginegciwane? Sikutshela konke ngezansi.
Iyini i-Pegasus?
Pegasus iyithuluzi inhloli smartphone yakho. Singase sikuhlukanise ngokuthi «igciwane» ukuze sonke siqondane, okungalimazi ifoni yakho, akubangeli ukuthi noma yini isuswe noma ingasebenzi kahle, kodwa inokufinyelela kuyo yonke idatha yakho futhi iyithumela kunoma ubani ofake lelo gciwane efonini yakho. Leli thuluzi lakhiwe yi-NSO Group, inkampani yakwa-Israel ethengisa leli thuluzi ukuze inhloli abantu. Yebo, ilula kanjalo, yinkampani eyaziwayo, wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi yenzani futhi evumelekile phezu kwazo zonke izinxushunxushu ezilokhu ziqubuka kuyona selokhu kwaziwa ukuthi ikhona. I-Apple isivele isifake isikhalazo ngale nkampani.
Ngiyifaka kanjani i-Pegasus efonini yami?
Abantu bahlale bekhuluma ngama-iPhones angenwe yi-Pegasus, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi leli thuluzi isebenza kuzo zombili i-iPhone ne-Android. Okuhlosiwe kwaleli thuluzi kuvame ukuba ngosopolitiki abasezikhundleni eziphezulu, izintatheli, izishoshovu, abaphikisi... abantu “abanentshisekelo” yokuhlola ukuze balawule ukunyakaza kwabo futhi bazi konke abakwaziyo, futhi laba bantu, ngenxa yezizathu zokuphepha, ngokuvamile basebenzisa ama-iPhones, ivikeleke kakhulu kune-Android, kodwa njengoba ivikelekile, ayithinteki.
Ukuze i-Pegasus ifakwe ku-iPhone yakho awudingi ngisho nokwenza lutho. Inkampani ye-NSO iklame ithuluzi elisezingeni eliphezulu kangangokuba lingangena ocingweni lwakho ngaphandle kokuchofoza noma yiziphi izixhumanisi noma ukulanda noma yiziphi izinhlelo zokusebenza. Ucingo olulula lwe-WhatsApp noma umyalezo othunyelwe kufoni yakho, ngaphandle kokuthi uwuvule, unganikeza ukufinyelela kule nhloli. Ukwenza lokhu, sebenzisa lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "ubungozi bosuku lwe-zero", amaphutha ezokuphepha umkhiqizi wefoni angawazi ngakho angeke akwazi ukuwalungisa, ngoba akazi nokuthi akhona. Uma isifakiwe, konke, ngiyaphinda, yonke into eku-iPhone yakho isezandleni zalowo osebenzisa lelo thuluzi.
I-Apple isivele ikhiphe isibuyekezo ezinyangeni ezedlule esilungise amaningana alawo maphutha okuphepha, kepha iPegasus ithola abanye futhi isizakala ngayo. Namuhla asazi ukuthi isebenzisa ziphi izimbungulu, noma yiziphi amafoni noma izinguqulo ze-OS ezisengozini yethuluzi layo lokuhlola. Siyazi ukuthi i-Apple iyazilungisa ngokushesha nje lapho izithola, kodwa futhi siyazi ukuthi zizohlala zikhona izimbungulu ezizotholakala futhi zixhashazwe. Kungumdlalo waphakade wekati negundane.
Ubani ongasebenzisa i-Pegasus?
Iqembu le-NSO lithi ithuluzi layo lisetshenziswa kuphela izinhlangano zikahulumeni, njengokungathi lokhu kuyinduduzo. Kodwa njengoba uTim Cook esho lapho exoxa ngokuphoqelela izinkampani ukuthi zenze "umnyango ongemuva" ozonikeza ukufinyelela kumafoni lapho kudingeka, "umnyango ongemuva wabafana abahle nawo uwumnyango wangemuva kwababi." Okuwukuphela kwenduduzo esinayo thina zakhamuzi ezivamile ukuthi iPegasus ayifinyeleleki kunoma ubani ngenxa yezizathu zomnotho kuphela. Ukusebenzisa leli thuluzi kumuntu oyedwa kunenani elingama-euro angama-96.000, ngakho-ke angicabangi ukuthi umuntu osebenza naye noma umlamu wakho uzoyisebenzisa ukuhlola ifoni yakho.
Kodwa kuyakhathaza ukuthi wonke umuntu azi ukuthi kukhona ithuluzi elingasihlola amahora angama-24 ngosuku, izinsuku ezingama-365 yonyaka sisebenzisa i-smartphone yethu, sazi konke esikwenzayo, esikubonayo, esikufundayo, esilalelayo nesibhalayo. Ubani ongaqinisekisa ukuthi i-Pegasus ayikwazi ukuwela ezandleni zabanye abayithengisa ngemali ephansi? Noma wenze itholakale kuwo wonke umuntu mahhala? Futhi lokho engikutshele ngakho ekuqaleni kwalesi sihloko, into ekhathaza kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi inkampani eyakhiwe nguPegasus ingakwazi ukwenza ngokungenasici ngethuluzi eliphula yonke imithetho engenzeka.
Ngingazi kanjani ukuthi nginegciwane?
Uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi umuntu ufake i-Pegasus ocingweni lwakho, akhona amathuluzi okuyibona futhi amahhala. Ngakolunye uhlangothi sinesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile eyakhiwe yi-Amnesty International futhi ongayilanda ku-GitHub (isixhumanisi). Nokho, akuyona isofthiwe wonke umuntu angayisebenzisa ngenxa yobulukhuni bayo, ngakho kukhona ezinye izindlela ezilula nezifinyeleleka kalula kulabo abangenawo amakhono athuthukile wekhompyutha. Isibonelo ithuluzi le-iMazing (isixhumanisi), ukulanda mahhala, futhi ikuvumela ukuthi wazi ukuthi utheleleke yini yi-Pegasus. Iyahambisana neWindows ne-macOS futhi yize ezinye izici zayo zikhokhelwa, ukutholwa kwePegasus kumahhala.
Ngingakugwema kanjani ukutheleleka nge-Pegasus?
Njengoba kunjalo, uma othile efuna ukufaka i-Pegasus efonini yakho, ayikho indlela yokuyizungeza ngokuphelele. Kodwa ungathatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ukuze wehlise ubungozi bube buncane obunokwenzeka. Siyazi ukuthi kube nezimbungulu ezivumele i-Pegasus ukuthi ifake ngaphandle kokuthi umsebenzisi enze noma yini, kodwa futhi siyazi ukuthi i-Apple ihlale ikhulula ama-patches ukulungisa lezo zimbungulu, ngakho-ke. into engcono kakhulu ukuthi uhlale ugcina i-iPhone yakho ivuselelwe enguqulweni yakamuva etholakalayo. Kubalulekile futhi ukuthi ungachofozi izixhumanisi ongaziwa umsuka wazo, noma uvule imilayezo evela kubathumeli abangaziwa noma abasolisayo.
Mayelana nokufakwa kwezicelo, ku-iOS awukwazi ukufaka izinhlelo zokusebenza ngaphandle kwe-App Store. Lokhu kuyinto okwamanje okuxoxwa ngayo yizinhlangano eziningi ezifana ne-European Commission, kodwa kuyisinyathelo sokuphepha esisivikela ekuhlaselweni kwangaphandle. Uma noma ngasiphi isikhathi i-Apple iphoqeleka ukuthi ivule isistimu yayo futhi ivumele "ukulayishwa eceleni" noma ukufakwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ngaphandle kwesitolo sayo, ubungozi buzokhula kakhulu.
