Pegasus Zero Click Spyware: Full Technology Stuck on Sale ₿ 0.50 BTC

Modern phones automatically parse incoming messages, images, link previews, and call setup signals before a person touches anything. A zero-click exploit chain abuses that automatic parsing so the target never has to tap a link or open a file. The phone compromises itself.

Contrast this with one-click exploits, which require the target to interact, and network injection, where traffic is redirected en route — sometimes with carrier cooperation. Zero-click is the hardest to detect because it leaves almost no user-visible trace.
