The founder of spyware firm Intellexa has suggested that Greece's government may have orchestrated a widespread hacking campaign targeting top officials and journalists. Tal Dilian, sentenced to eight years for his role in the 'Greek Watergate' scandal, claims he will share evidence with regulators.
Using Intellexa’s Predator spyware, hackers accessed over 50 high-profile phones, raising questions about official complicity and potential cover-ups within Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's cabinet. While no officials face charges, Dilian denies being a 'scapegoat' for the surveillance.
These revelations come as the U.S. government has slapped sanctions on Dilian, citing illegal use of Predator against American targets. The case highlights the complex ethical landscape surrounding advanced spyware technologies and their potential misuse by governments.
Dilian’s conviction without clear evidence stirs debate over justice and accountability in digital espionage. As nations grapple with increasingly sophisticated surveillance tools, questions linger about who should be held responsible for breaches of privacy on a global scale.
