An Israeli spyware firm, Paragon Solutions, accidentally exposed its secretive Graphite control panel in a LinkedIn post, drawing sharp criticism from cybersecurity experts.
Founded in 2019 in Israel, Paragon markets Graphite as sophisticated surveillance software, granting remote access to cell phones. Dubbed “mercenary spyware,” it infiltrates devices without user interaction, extracting messages from apps like WhatsApp and Signal, stored data, and live communications.
