The convicted founder of spyware company Intellexa has made the most direct suggestion yet that Greece's government authorized the hacking of dozens of phones belonging to senior officials, opposition leaders, and journalists. These comments provide unprecedented insider confirmation of state-sponsored surveillance activities. The revelations could have significant political and legal implications for the Mitsotakis government.
Background
Commercial spyware like Intellexa's Predator has become increasingly sophisticated and is often sold to governments for surveillance purposes. There have been growing concerns about democratic governments using such tools against political opponents and journalists.
