Spyware, Attackers & Zero-Click Exploits: The Invisible Threat to Your Phone

Spyware is everywhere. You can avoid suspicious links, lock your phone, and update your apps—but what if someone could hack you without you doing anything at all? That’s the reality of zero-click exploits, silent attacks that compromise your phone just by sending a malicious message or data packet.

Citizen Lab researchers uncovered one such attack when Pegasus spyware exploited an iMessage flaw, infecting iPhones without any clicks. Similar attacks have since targeted WhatsApp and Signal users.

Case Study: Journalists Targeted

In 2025, the “Graphite” spyware, produced by Paragon Solutions, infected the phones of nearly 100 journalists and activists. Victims didn’t click anything; their devices were silently taken over. Spyware accessed messages, cameras, microphones, and location data.

Defending Against Device-Level Spyware Threats

• Always keep your OS and apps up-to-date.

• Remove apps you don’t use, especially those requesting full permissions.

• Treat unexplained battery drain or data spikes as warning signs.

• For sensitive communications, use a dedicated or “clean” device.

Even the best encryption can’t help if your device itself is compromised—so keep both your tools and your communication channels secure.
