Check out the great thread by investigative partner@omerbenj at Haaretz

@_clem1 @JulianVoeg Significantly Google has also announced threat notifications today, first time ever alerts sent for Predator! "several hundred accounts across various countries, including Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Angola, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, and Tajikistan" https://t.co/1GDgggkbEi

Simultaneously our partners at Google (@_clem1) and Recorded Future (@JulianVoeg) have published their own deep investigations into Intelellexa https://t.co/mFrTN2d199

A leaked training video show a client list (by codename): Dragon, Eagle, Falcon, Flamingo, Fox & more. Our investigation confirms Eagle is Kazakhstan; Phoenix, the 2023 Predator Files investigation found, was Libya. https://t.co/BlTsFhTgBg

#IntellexaLeaks: "🇵🇰Pakistan on Thursday refuted claims published in an @AmnestyTech report on Thursday that a #spyware product, manufactured by an Israeli company, was actively being used in the country." https://t.co/zPSOoCx88D

Intellexa's Aladdin, which allows almost zero-click infections, was firm exposed as being in development by Intellexa last year by Haaretz and Inside Story. Our latest investigation shows its live and operational https://t.co/FyrxDiL2Pq

@AmnestyTech @citizenlab @Google 9/ Highly recommend the full investigation from @haaretzcom Inside Story & the WAV Research Collective. So many critical insights, like that Egypt & Saudi Predator clients appear to remain active despite sanctions & scandals. By @omerbenj @e_triantafillou & Lorenz Naegeli.

Our investigation found that Intellexa's staff seemingly had some form of remote access to infection systems, something other spyware firms have long denied doing. The head of Memento Labs, an Italian hacking tech firm, told @TechCrunch's @lorenzofb this: https://t.co/FjevESgUcq
