💨 Abstract

A Pakistani geospatial firm, Business System International Pvt Ltd (BSI), and its owner, Obaidullah Syed, were found to have illegally sold satellite images to the Pakistan government, including nuclear and defense agencies. The U.S. government's Homeland Security Investigation uncovered these dealings, revealing financial transactions and email exchanges with key officials. Despite Syed's 2022 conviction, BSI became a partner with Maxar Technologies in 2023.
