Without even requiring user interaction on a phone, Pegasus:
- Infects a target device, sometimes without any clicks (zero-click exploits via apps like iMessage or WhatsApp).
= Accesses sensitive data, including messages, emails, photos, contacts, and calendar entries.
- Activates microphones and cameras, enabling real-time surveillance.
- Tracks location, silently and continuously.
- Self-destructs if it detects it's being analysed.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
