@gtbarry more info: https://stateofsurveillance.org/news/draft-ice-confirms-graphite-spyware-active-use-congressional-letter-2026/
"ICE told Congress it uses spyware that reads encrypted messages. It told Congress this is about fentanyl. It did not tell Congress who it's targeting, how often, under what legal authority, or whether Americans' phones are being hacked.
The same spyware was used against journalists covering refugee rescues. The company that made it is now owned by a U.S. private equity firm."

In an April 1 letter to Congress, ICE confirmed for the first time that it actively deploys Paragon Graphite spyware — a zero-click tool that reads Signal and WhatsApp messages without the target clicking anything.
Wow, #Graphite has come a long way:
Graphite is an open source vector #graphics #editor and #animation engine, written in #Rust which is on its way to a first beta release! Super exciting!
When you scroll down a bit on their website, they show off some of their recently added features in a video (my facial expression during the whole duration of the video: 😮).
What a bunch of creative folks!
ICE acknowledges it is using powerful spyware
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using spyware tools that can intercept encrypted messages. the agency potentially uses spyware Graphite, created by Israeli company, Paragon Solutions.
