Telegram founder listed in leaked Pegasus project data

Journalists have established that Pavel Durov's phone was included in the list of potential Pegasus hacker attacks back in early 2018. It was Durov's British number, to which the entrepreneur linked his account in the messenger. It is unknown whether the customers managed to track the smartphone. It is also unclear who exactly wanted to hack the entrepreneur.

Pegasus — an Israeli malware that invisibly infects devices and gives operatives complete control over data. Thanks to this, the authorities, for example, could intercept all messages, photos, calls and even correspondence in protected messengers.
