Summary
The founder of Intellexa, a spyware company, has made comments suggesting that the Greek government authorized the hacking of dozens of phones belonging to senior government officials, opposition leaders, military officials, and journalists. The comments are the most direct indication yet of government involvement in the scandal. Greek MPs are demanding an inquiry into the alleged hacking.
Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Another government, another spyware scandal. The Mitsotakis government is accused of hacking its own officials’ phones. Intellexa’s founder is surprisingly candid about the alleged involvement. The Greek government’s denials are getting harder to believe. This is what “national security” looks like in 2022.
