The Intellexa Consortium was targeted by US sanctions due to its involvement in the development and distribution of Predator spyware, which was used to compromise the devices of American individuals, including government officials, journalists, and policy experts. Despite these sanctions, the Predator spyware operation has resumed with new infrastructure, challenging the efforts to curb its activities. The resurgence of this spyware poses serious threats to privacy and national security due to its capabilities to conduct extensive surveillance and steal sensitive data. High-profile individuals remain the prime targets, and the tool's sophisticated nature indicates its use for strategic intelligence gathering by governments and potentially malicious actors.
