Israeli Spyware Firm Exposes Paragon Spyware Control Panel on LinkedIn

Paragon Solutions accidentally posted a screenshot of its Graphite spyware control panel on LinkedIn, exposing active interception logs, a monitored Czech phone labeled “Valentina,” and interfaces showing capability to compromise encrypted messaging apps via zero-click exploits. The report links Graphite to prior WhatsApp zero-click attacks against journalists and civil society, notes forensic artifacts such as "BIGPRETZEL," lists government clients, and highlights OPSEC failures that amplify scrutiny over mercenary surveillance use.
