The webpage reports on a recent scandal involving the use of Paragon spyware to target journalists’ devices. Two European journalists’ mobile devices, including a prominent journalist who wishes to remain anonymous and Ciro Pellegrino, were confirmed to have been targeted with Paragon’s Graphite spyware. The Citizen Lab, a digital forensics research institute, attributed the attacks to a sophisticated zero-click exploit, which was mitigated by Apple in iOS version 18.3.1. The Italian government’s alleged use of Paragon’s spyware has sparked a public spat between the company and its former client, with Paragon terminating its contract with Italy.
