Overview
- Amnesty and partner outlets published leaked internal documents, sales material and training videos detailing Intellexa’s operations and support for its Predator spyware.
- Researchers say the materials show company staff viewing customer dashboards and stored victim data, with apparent live infection attempts documented, including details tied to a target in Kazakhstan.
- Amnesty reports Intellexa developed a tool called Aladdin that infects phones through online ads, a claim not confirmed by the company.
- Amnesty’s Security Lab identified a Predator attack attempt against a human rights lawyer in Pakistan’s Balochistan over WhatsApp in summer 2025, a claim a Pakistani intelligence official publicly rejected.
- Founder Tal Dilian denies wrongdoing and calls the reporting an orchestrated campaign, as prior U.S. Treasury sanctions from 2024 continue to restrict American dealings with him and an associate.
