A Greek court sentenced Intellexa founder Tal Dilian and three executives to eight years for illegal wiretapping and privacy violations linked to the Predator spyware in the “Greek Watergate” scandal, with the sentence stayed pending appeal and further investigation; this follows 2024 U.S. sanctions on Intellexa and affiliates for targeting Americans, marking the first known jailing of a spyware maker for misuse of their technology.
