A recent report from Citizen Lab suggests that various Australian government agencies could potentially be clients of Paragon Solutions, the Israeli firm known for its military-grade spyware. The report highlights the use of Graphite spyware, which can compromise messaging applications like WhatsApp. Although Meta reported that over 90 people were targeted by this software, it remains uncertain if Australians were among them. Paragon states its commitment to supporting law enforcement and national security while adhering to legal and ethical standards, despite concerns regarding privacy violations.
Paragon Solutions offers military-grade spyware exclusively to government clients, which can fully access instant messaging apps on targeted devices, raising privacy concerns.
Citizen Lab implicated two Australian IP addresses in the suspected use of Paragon's Graphite spyware, though it remains unclear if any Australians were affected.
