Paragon spyware firm uncooperative with Italian probe

Paragon Solutions, a spyware maker, is reportedly not cooperating with Italian authorities investigating a hacking campaign that targeted journalists and activists. Despite initial promises, the company has not responded to a formal request for information sent via the Israeli government over a year ago. This follows a scandal where WhatsApp and Apple notified victims of attacks using Paragon's 'Graphite' spyware. Paragon had previously claimed the Italian government refused its offer to help investigate, leading it to cancel contracts with Italian spy agencies. The lack of response raises questions, especially given past instances where the Israeli government has intervened in similar legal requests.
