As part of the greek pantheon, Pegasus is one the most well known mythological creatures we learned to know and love during history time in school. I have to say I also grew pretty fond of him while watching the cartoon Hercules when I was a kid. In July 2021, the @guardian published an enquiry about a spyware developed by an Israeli company that can be silently installed on whomever's phone, and spy every single activity; getting passwords, recording calls and even turning on cameras or geolocalization.

Once heard the full story via #todayinfocuspodcast I felt the urge to fix the relationship with my phone, even though I reckon may be a simple case of paranoia; it also inspired this illustration.
