Intellexa kept access to client logs: Amnesty uncovered new evidence of espionage.

According to ТСН: An international investigation conducted by journalists and human rights defenders has revealed new evidence of Intellexa's involvement in human rights violations related to the sale and use of cyber espionage tools. A leak of documents confirmed that the company, founded by a former Israeli intelligence officer, uses its well-known product Predator and the new development Aladdin to surveil people in various countries.

Amnesty reports this.

Full control of the developer and the legal precedent

A technical analysis conducted by Amnesty International specialist Jurrie van Bergen showed that Intellexa has remote access to the logs of its clients. This allows Intellexa employees to control the details of surveillance operations and identify targets.

Amnesty emphasizes that such participation creates a legal precedent: software providers may be held accountable for human rights violations and crimes committed using their tools.

The leak of files provided new evidence of Intellexa’s connections to specific attacks on civil society. For example, in 2021, Greek journalist Thanassis Koukakis fell victim to surveillance. New data confirmed that the use of spyware continues.

In the summer of 2025, specialists recorded an attack on a human rights lawyer in the Pakistani province of Balochistan, conducted via the WhatsApp messenger. Analysts believe this indicates the activity of Predator as a tool for illegal surveillance.

Invisible threat: the spy product Aladdin

Specialists are particularly concerned about the company’s latest development called Aladdin. According to leaked training videos and marketing materials, this tool has a dangerous attack vector. Aladdin can infect mobile devices through online advertising (malicious banners), complicating protection, as infection can occur while browsing web pages.

Amnesty International intends to publish a series of reports shortly that reveal the technical details of these spying campaigns.

Moreover, in South Korea, four individuals suspected of hacking over 120,000 domestic and commercial video cameras and using recordings to create sexually exploitative materials for a foreign website were arrested.

Data about an archive containing personal information of Ukrainians, consisting of approximately 20 million records, has also emerged.

These revelations confirm concerns about the growing use of modern technologies to violate human rights. Cyber-espionage tools, such as Predator and Aladdin, are becoming important elements in the global context of control and resistance, and their deployment may have serious consequences for citizens' privacy worldwide. Amnesty International will continue investigations to ensure that companies are held accountable for their software and take measures to protect human rights.
