Intellexa, a spyware company, reportedly had remote access to the surveillance systems of its government clients, allowing employees to view personal data from targets infected with its Predator spyware. Amnesty International and several media partners released findings based on leaked Intellexa documents, including internal training materials. A key detail from a leaked training video suggests that Intellexa staff could access live surveillance data, contradicting the industry norm where spyware firms claim they don’t have access to their customers' data for legal and ethical reasons. The leaked video allegedly showed real-time infection attempts, including specific details about targets in Kazakhstan. Paolo Lezzi, CEO of Memento Labs, expressed skepticism about the authenticity of the training video, suggesting it might be a demo rather than actual access to a customer’s system. Amnesty, however, maintains that the evidence indicates Intellexa's employees had visibility into their customers' surveillance activities, raising serious privacy concerns for individuals targeted by government spyware. Intellexa's founder, Tal Dilian, faces scrutiny following U.S. government sanctions related to allegations of his spyware being used against American citizens, including officials and journalists. Despite these sanctions, Dilian dismissed the accusations as part of a campaign against him, claiming he has committed no crime. The situation underscores ongoing tensions in the spyware industry, where ethical practices and oversight are increasingly questioned as governments utilize these tools for surveillance.
