The Intellexa Consortium, notorious for its Predator spyware, faced US sanctions for targeting Americans, including government officials, journalists, and policy experts. With robust data-stealing and surveillance capabilities, Predator can compromise devices through sophisticated zero-click attacks. Despite sanctions causing operational decline, Recorded Future reports a resurgence leveraging new infrastructure, making tracking challenging. Increase in stealth and complexity signifies a continued threat to high-profile individuals globally, raising privacy, security, and ethical concerns. The renewed use of Predator could lead to significant repercussions for victims, compromising personal, financial, and strategic information.
