Pegasus software was created around the year 2015. It was created with the express purpose of counter-intelligence.
What better way to counter terrorist attacks than to know in advance of a possible threat? It is unfortunate that Pegasus has caused so much controversy. If Pegasus is being misused for malafide intentions by third parties it definitely calls for an investigation. Such an event can happen in any organization or company if employees choose to act on their own for financial gains.
About three months ago, there was an attack on the Israeli embassy in Delhi. This proves that even Pegasus cannot counter every threat. It is also important to use conventional systems of espionage to deter threats. The terrorists may have stuck to postal, verbal or short-wave radio rather than using social media or mobiles.
