RE:Patent sale connections to bank(Israel) Well - its been said - over and over. All the ANTI of Virus/Malwares cannot seem to STOP this Trojan of Trojans... I have asked before and many others - Can Blackberry DETECT let alone stop Pegasus? If the answer is YES. Then your Thesus has plenty of merit -
However - in the list of attendees - BB does have business relations.
Example: If BB prevents or detects Pegasus - EVERY Cell phone on the planet should install BB Cylance - as Pegasus alone is the nasty of nasty - King of Kings of the Cyber gate can opener
Pegasus is spyware developed by the Israeli cyberarms firm NSO Group that can be covertly installed on mobile phones (and other devices) running most[1] versions of iOS and Android.[2] The 2021 Project Pegasus revelations suggest that the current Pegasus software can exploit all recent iOS versions up to iOS 14.6.[1] As of 2016, Pegasus was capable of reading text messages, tracking calls, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing the target device's microphone and camera, and harvesting information from apps. [3] The spyware is named after Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology. It is a Trojan horse computer virus that can be sent "flying through the air" to infect cell phones.[4]
NSO Group was previously owned by American private equity firm Francisco Partners,[5] but it was bought back by its founders in 2019.[6] The company states that it provides "authorized governments with technology that helps them combat terror and crime."[7][8] NSO Group has published sections of contracts which require customers to use its products only for criminal and national security investigations and has stated that it has an industry-leading approach to human rights.[9]
Pegasus was discovered in August 2016 after a failed installation attempt on the iPhone of a human rights activist led to an investigation revealing details about the spyware, its abilities, and the security vulnerabilities it exploited. News of the spyware caused significant media coverage. It was called the "most sophisticated" smartphone attack ever, and was the first time that a malicious remote exploit used jailbreaking to gain unrestricted access to an iPhone.[7]
On August 23, 2020, according to intelligence obtained by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, NSO Group sold Pegasus spyware software for hundreds of millions of US dollars to the United Arab Emirates and the other Gulf States, for surveillance of anti-regime activists, journalists, and political leaders from rival nations, with encouragement and mediation by the Israeli government.[10] Later, in December 2020, the Al Jazeera investigative show The Tip of the Iceberg, Spy partners, exclusively covered Pegasus and its penetration into the phones of media professionals and activists; and its use by Israel to eavesdrop on both opponents and allies.[11][12]
theRussian wrote: Now! You see my reasoning behind why patent sale was likely nixed after dangling the carrot for a year? Average patent life of patent destroyed by 1 full year since Chen couldn't monetize them! That was their whole plan from start maybe.
soon as Chen announced the patent sale in Dec 2020, the banks knew it needed to be financed. They kept purposely dragging it for a year and now have backed out. These banks all controlled by Israel and big tech in US maybe. Chen shouldn't have been so open about patents to public. Should have verified the ability of the buyer to pay cash and not finance it.
anyways anyone please challenge my thought process. Thanks
