Sure: The Mossad, just like any other such agency, is a powerful beast that can potentially get into any phone today. Let’s assume that’s the case.

But each individual in the Mossad is just a civil worker (or a contractor, see Edward Snowden) with a mediocre salary. At least a subset of these humbly-paid employees can be co-opted with a large sum of money just like a much better paid Swiss bank employee. With bounty phrases they can get rich draining devices with a back door or a known vulnerability without detection! So that “corruptible” subset of agents, even if it’s just one out of a thousand, is enough for the system to work. For the stashing of zero-day exploits to break.

With the implementation of bounty phrase technology, the agency’s ability to hack into a group of devices gets revealed every single time. And if the money is still there, it means they didn’t get into that device group (yet).

For clarification;

The software is called Pegasus.

In version one, you had to click a link in your text to be compromised.

In version 2, the attacker simply enters your phone number to gain root on your phone.

i am for it

but i am working on an alternative

bounties are awesome

but if government trained killers have told you

that they coming to murder you

and they demonstrated their enthusiasm

by naming your physical location

you just have to put your phones in the sea

for now

Same goes for Chinese citizens that want to be free.

We can beat them, but not with a single method.

If one becomes a target the whole story changes. I agree. Then phone to the sea is a good start.
