Predator is a commercial spyware tool developed by the Intellexa alliance, designed for covert surveillance and data extraction from target devices. It is primarily used by government agencies to monitor individuals of interest, such as journalists, activists, and political opponents. Predator can infiltrate smartphones, bypassing security measures to access messages, calls, emails, and other sensitive information. The spyware is delivered through various methods, including malicious links or infected files, often without the victim’s knowledge. Predator’s advanced capabilities and stealthy operation have raised significant concerns among privacy advocates and cybersecurity experts, as its misuse can lead to human rights violations and unauthorized surveillance.
