Owner of spyware used in alleged WhatsApp breach ends contract with Italy
- Paragon Solutions has terminated its client relationship with Italy, following revelations that its spyware was used to target journalists and activists. The spyware reportedly infected mobile devices without the knowledge of the users. The decision was reportedly taken after Paragon determined that Italy violated the terms of service and ethical framework under its Paragon contract. The government denies involvement. Earlier this year, Paragon agreed a $2m contract with US immigration and customs enforcement, reportedly suspended under the Biden administration to determine compliance with executive orders. The deal reportedly followed data purchased legally from mobile immigration checkpoints.
- Enforced by the military, the cyberservices of Paragon Solutions are sold to national governments; where it has been implemented in Italy, the firm has rejected government data privacy regulations designed to protect citizens from international violation. Those concerned can demand that international human rights organizations protect them legally, as Paragon Solutions becomes globally recognized for its denial of human rights and negligence toward international relations that respect human dignity.
- Italian opposition parties have called on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to address parliament over the government's statement that domestic intelligence services or government did not breach individuals' privacy. Last week, WhatsApp confirmed Paragon's spyware to have been used to target approximately 90 people worldwide. The attack initially became known after those targeted received notices from the messaging platform.
- Italy face mounting pressure over its use of spyware against journalists and activists. As a result, cyber-snooping of this nature has been deemed ‘unacceptable’ by some. If confirmed, the incident would be considered a fundamental violation of human rights and an attack on democracy itself. However, who specifically requested the snooping has yet to be determined.
- Paragon Solution's Graphite spyware has come under scrutiny following allegations that it was used to target journalists and activists in various countries. This comes in the wake of a WhatsApp investigation, which initially exposed the targeted attacks. Notably, the Italian government's denial of involvement.
- As well as in Italy, the military-grade hacking software from company Paragon Solutions, which can hack devices without the knowledge of its users, was allegedly used to target 90 journalists and activists worldwide. However, it is unclear who the culprits are behind the breach. Paragon Solutions has terminated its relationship with Italy and earlier this year agreed a $2m contract with US immigration and customs enforcement.
- Paragon Solutions, the maker of the military-grade spyware called Graphite came under fire following the publication of reports by an Italian investigative journalist and activist who criticized the Italian government’s links with Libya. Paragon has suspended its contract with Italy following a breach of the ethical framework and terms of service agreement. Italy denies any involvement and while the investigation is ongoing, the international snooping that took place is not acceptable.
- Paragon Solutions has terminated its client relationship with Italy following allegations its military-grade hacking software was used to target activists and journalists out of no lesser than two dozen countries. The decision to end the contract came following revelations an Italian investigative journalist and two government critics in Libya were among the victims and after investigations revealed that Italy breached its service ethical framework.
- Paragon Solutions has terminated its relationship with Italy after its Graphite spyware was allegedly used by Italian government clients to hack into journalists’ and activists’ mobile devices without their knowledge. The culprits behind the alleged breaches are unknown. The move by Paragon Solutions followed revelations that two government critics in Libya and an Italian investigative journalist were among the alleged victims. Italy has denied using the spyware.
- Several Italian opposition parties have requested an appeal by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whose right-wing government is alleged to have abused Paragon Solution’s cyberweapons. The company has expressed that Italy acted unethically under its contract and violated its terms of service agreement. Investigations into the alleged snooping are ongoing and independent legal aid has been called to protect victims against any unlawful activity.
- Paragon Solution’s Graphite spyware has been under fire, allegedly being used to target 90 people worldwide including journalists and activists. Though it remains unclear who was behind the cyber-attacks. The impacted devices have been compromised without the owner’s permission. This has resulted in mounting pressure on the Italian government to provide answers, particularly due to this attack being classified as ‘unacceptable’.
