Intellexa Consortium, associated with the distribution of Predator spyware, faced U.S. sanctions for targeting Americans, including government officials, journalists, and policy experts. Despite an initial activity drop due to these sanctions, the predator spyware has re-emerged with enhanced infrastructure, making detection more challenging. High-profile individuals continue to be at risk, with spyware deployments indicating strategic targeting, facilitated by licensing costs that suggest its use is reserved for valuable targets. The resurgence and adaptation of Predator's infrastructure underscore the enduring threat posed by commercial surveillance software to personal privacy, corporate security, and national interests.
