Pegasus is used exclusively in targeted attacks, it's not a threat to the average iOS user, plus it uses CVE vulnerabilities to infect devices that would elude any antivirus detection measure regardless. Also, Android users are not immune to malware if they rely exclusively on the Google App Store because malware developers can publish malware as purely legitimate applications in the store (e.g. SharkBot, recently).
@svettnabb Жыл бұрын
Same goes for iOS, can’t trust apps. The main difference is that you can audit and discover zero day attacks on android, that’s not possible on iOS, since you can’t audit the system. So to say you elude detection on android is wrong, that’s only if you are not looking. Which is why SOCs uses EDR tools, which btw does not work on iOS.

I don't use antivirus but I do use Brave as my browser, with JS disabled by default, alongside routing all phone traffic through Quad9's DNS (which has a very large list of malware domains that it totally blocks) so it's not like it's completely void of security. I figure that, combined with the fact that I only use apps from app stores (and I'm careful to only use reputable ones with good reviews that are clearly legit), means I don't have to worry too much. Plus, regarding spyware, I'm not terribly concerned because if the government wants to know more about my phone usage, they can get it pretty easily because Google records way too much as it is. That's honestly part of why I don't use antivirus on my phone: I don't want to spread my data out among even more companies. Quad9's DNS is private AND secure; same with Brave. So yeah, the fewer companies that have my data, the better.

I have tested every antivirus I could get my hands on after installing a malware beforehand on purpose. Only one product can remove it out of every single one, guess which one? Google Play. Only that one has permissions low level enough to be able to plainly remove phone threats after they already managed to get the permissions to prevent deinstallation. Every other antivirus failed, because it needs to open a popup to uninstall the app since the antivirus lacks system permissions. And with the malware having access to usability services it can simply close these popups long before you can acknowledge them. So never give malware usability permissions, because it is literally all they need to compromise you. All the other permissions are setup by a macro.

"Imagine someone's trying to assassinate you and they get access to this, you're pretty much done." I'm my own antivirus in that regard. I wished you'd have used a more relatable example. On a more standard note: Haven't had a breach in my entire life (and I don't use antivirus on my desktop at all.) But Google mass signed me out of everything today because my 4 month old phone, including only the stock apps (most of which I have disabled) was flagged as having malware by their auto detection. I don't know if it actually does but I'm pretty annoyed at this, and it's another point for "smart phones are pretty stupid." Anything too "easy to use" is also too time consuming to precisely control.

Short answer: You don't. Slightly longer answer: You don't in 99.9% of the case since mainly two reasons. Firstly Linux system is built to be secure with free and open source software taking up most of the applications availability on it. Second, Linux user base is still a lot smaller compared to Windows or Mac although in recent years the number has skyrocketed. Attacking a personal computer running Linux is not worth it considering you could reach much more people with the same malware on Windows.
