All that’s Pegasus is not snoopy, Kozhikode identically named coaching center app sees download influx

KOZHIKODE: When the Pegasus snooping issue is rocking the country and abroad, a leading centre giving coaching for competitive examinations at Koyilandy here is garnering huge attention online.

The centre’s app has been downloaded more than 1,000 times and umpteen enquiry calls made to the institution in the past few days. The reason — the coaching centre’s name is Pegasus. In all probability, peeping toms and those who like to know of others’ private lives are inadvertently downloading the app thinking it is the same spyware software of NSO Group of Israel used for snooping on leading political leaders, top government officials and even a Supreme Court judge.
