Heh heh heh... AI confirmed the facts, Chris.
With links.

 That you believe AI can be trusted to confirm facts, says more about you...

As you stated Alan, Chris is a liar. But Alan you also lied by not looking into this threat to determine if AI results could be independently confirmed, even partially.
Hint to readers - Alan frequently lies by omission. Neither of you is telling the whole truth.
So, let's look at some facts from other sources.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)
(or do your own search on Pegasus spyware)
Pegasus is real, intended to target high profile individuals, and can steal all manner of information. It is not a widespread threat.
And, contrary to claims of never on Android, it is also been an Android exploit. Antivirus vendors advertise detection and removal.

Researchers have discovered seven new Pegasus spyware infections targeting journalists, government officials, and corporate executives that started several years ago and span both iPhone and Android devices, demonstrating that the range of the notorious spyware may be even greater than once thought.
Researchers from iVerify discovered multiple devices compromised by Israeli company NSO Group's spyware via attacks initiated between 2021 and 2023 that affect Apple iPhone iOS versions 14, 15, and 16.6, as well as Android, they revealed in a blog post published on Dec. 4. The infections were discovered in May during a threat-hunting scan of 2,500 devices from iVerify users who opted in to the checks.
Specifically, the investigation uncovered multiple Pegasus variants in five unique malware types across iOS and Android.
