💨 Abstract

Israeli spyware maker Paragon has cut ties with Italy following allegations of misusing its surveillance technology Graphite to target government critics, potentially breaching human rights. The move comes after WhatsApp accused the software of hacking into the accounts of journalists and activists, including three critical of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Paragon, which works with state entities including the Israeli security establishment and the FBI, has been linked to cases of possible technology abuse for the first time.
