Paragon is not collaborating with Italian authorities probing spyware attacks, report says

WhatsApp and Apple warned people in Italy they may have been targeted with government spyware tied to Paragon’s Graphite.

Italian prosecutors opened a probe after complaints from victims and sought information from Paragon via the Israeli government.

According to Wired Italy, Paragon has not responded for about a year, stalling the investigation.

The case raises broader questions about spyware accountability, cross-border cooperation, and oversight of government surveillance tools.
