A Meta executive spent a year under surveillance by the Greek government, in what appears to be the first targeting of a U.S. citizen by 'Predator' spyware.
not alone, unfortunately. For most of last year, the Greek government was ensnared in an ongoing political scandal—dubbed “”—over accusations that it had secretly spied on droves of politicians, activists, business owners, and others using commercial spyware like Predator.
“I hope is this story will encourage other victims of spyware abuse to speak out. There are more of us out there, and our stories should be neither instrumentalized nor silenced,” Seaford added. “We deserve better. Ultimately, we need our governments and EU bodies to protect us.”The Greek government, meanwhile, has denied that it used the spyware to hack and track
Seaford. A representative from the government, Giannis Oikonomou, told the Times on Monday: “The Greek authorities and security services have at no time acquired or used the Predator surveillance software. To suggest otherwise is wrong... The alleged use of this software by nongovernmental parties is under ongoing judicial investigation.”
John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher with Citizen Lab, called the hacking of Seaford “diabolical” and said that the case was “further evidence that the mercenary spyware problem in the EU is out of control.”of Meta’s platforms and became subject to a formal ban for having violated Meta’s Community Standards and Terms of Service. Cytrox and the other companies were said to have been carrying out surveillance operations aimed at tens of thousands of Meta users.
