Treasury removes Intellexa spyware-linked trio from sanctions list

The report covers the U.S. government’s removal of sanctions on three individuals previously tied to the Intellexa consortium (maker of the Predator spyware), citing a reconsideration process and claims the individuals have separated from Intellexa. Researchers criticized the move, warning that Intellexa appears to retain operational capability and has expanded Predator targeting, including through malicious mobile ads, raising ongoing human rights and security concerns.
