found this on some telegram channel:

In February 2026, an employee of Paragon Solutions published a photograph on her LinkedIn profile depicting the operation of the Graphite spyware. The post has currently been deleted.

Reut Yamen holds the position of Chief Legal Counsel and Director of Compliance at the Israeli company Paragon Solutions, which specializes in cyber-surveillance technologies. The company was founded in 2019 by a group of former employees of Israeli intelligence services — among them Ehud Schneorson, former commander of Unit 8200 (Israel's equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency), as well as former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

The post was first noticed by technology researcher Yurre van Bergen, who tracks the use and proliferation of spyware worldwide.

The image apparently shows a demonstration interface of the Graphite system. An operator can view messages intercepted from a surveillance target in various services, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Line, and TikTok.

According to the results of a large-scale investigation conducted by The Citizen Lab in 2025, in 2024 in Italy, dozens of journalists and private individuals were attacked via the WhatsApp messenger using Graphite. A "zero-click" exploit (one that does not require user interaction) was used for this purpose.

Paragon Solutions has (or previously had) contracts with U.S. government agencies, in particular the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

And pushing narratives with many ai slop article "news" outlets, selling hacking tools to the us police, boarder patrol, ice, ect.

Every major tech company has someone in unit 8200 in it, like Facebook etc.

It's one of the few reasons I suggested this. Theyre literal terrorist and have basicially instilled the same tech that they use on Palestinians here in the united States.

israel wouldn't even be capable of being a terrorist nation were it not for the funding, weapons, and protection supplied by the most prolific terrorist nation on earth: the usa.

It's a symbiotic relationship

Was going to say more a disfunctional relationship where both parties are physically abusive and will visit each other in prison.
