WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department announced Tuesday it has sanctioned
two people and a Greece-based commercial spyware company headed by a former
Israeli military officer that developed, operated and distributed technology
used to target U.S. government officials, journalists and policy experts.
The sanctions target Intellexa Consortium, which the U.S. says has sold and
distributed commercial spyware and surveillance tools for targeted and mass
surveillance campaigns. Other entities associated with Intellexa — including
North Macedonia-based Cytrox AD, Hungary-based Cytrox Holdings ZRT and
Ireland-based Thalestris Limited — were sanctioned for their parts in developing
and distributing a package of tools known as Predator.
Biden administration officials said it marks the first time that the Treasury
Department has sanctioned people or entities for the misuse of spyware.
Predator allows a user to infiltrate electronic devices through zero-click
attacks that require no user interaction for the spyware to infect the device.
The spyware, which has been used in dozens of countries, has allowed for the
unauthorized extraction of data, geolocation tracking and access to personal
information on compromised devices.

“Today’s actions represent a tangible step forward in discouraging the misuse of
commercial surveillance tools, which increasingly present a security risk to the
United States and our citizens,” said Brian Nelson, Treasury undersecretary for
terrorism and financial intelligence. “The United States remains focused on
establishing clear guardrails for the responsible development and use of these
technologies while also ensuring the protection of human rights and civil
liberties of individuals around the world.”
The Commerce Department last year blacklisted Intellexa and Cytrox, denying them
access to U.S. technology.
Amnesty International’s Security Lab in October published a report that said
that Predator had been used to target but not necessarily infect devices
connected to the president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, and the
president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-Wen, as well as Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D.
Europe has also suffered a number of spyware incidents. Predator spyware was
reportedly used in Greece, a revelation that helped precipitate the resignation
in 2022 of two top government officials, including the national intelligence
director.
In December 2021, digital sleuths at the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab
discovered Predator spyware on the iPhone of a leading exiled Egyptian
dissident. In a joint probe with Facebook, Citizen Lab discovered that Cytrox
had customers in countries including Armenia, Greece, Indonesia, Madagascar,
Oman, Saudi Arabia and Serbia.
Intellexa was created in 2019 by former Israeli military officer Tal Dilian.
Dilian and Sara Hamou, a corporate off-shoring specialist who has provided
managerial services to Intellexa, were also sanctioned.
John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at Citizen Lab, called the sanctions “a
major escalation in the American effort to pump the brakes on mercenary spyware
proliferation.”
The sanctions targeting the developers of Predator come after the Biden
administration last month unveiled a new policy that will allow it to impose
visa restrictions on foreign individuals involved in the misuse of commercial
spyware.
The Democratic administration’s visa policy applies to people who’ve been
involved in the misuse of commercial spyware to target people including
journalists, activists, perceived dissidents, members of marginalized
communities or the family members of those who are targeted. The visa
restrictions could also apply to people who facilitate or get financial benefit
from the misuse of commercial spyware, officials said.
