This company btw for anyone else who had not heard of them before (there are a lot of companies by that name): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragon_Solutions
It's too bad that "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized" has become "we can download a full copy of all of your files at any time, or continually, if we feel like it, even if we don't suspect you of a crime".

The message can't be intercepted in transit, since we are talking about spyware, I assume they get it from the device, hard to defend against that if they have access to your process' memory space.
It’s performative security, when an app still requires a phone number, can’t have your own server, and all these audits are meaningless as you might have memory injected spyware later, it is NOT secure, never was.
Looks like image was removed and maybe only a demo?
From one Twitter user:

> It's just a demo instance, but, these front ends are barely revealed to the public

This genuinely doesn't look any different from the control panels of commercial infostealers and RATs sold on Russian hacking forums. Those usually sell for between $200 and $20,000 depending on features and pricing model (one-time vs. ongoing subscription).

These spyware companies hype themselves up, but they're really not any different from Ivan's RAT-as-a-Service, besides having extra exploits to burn and wealthier customers.

I read Pentagon instead of Paragon.
Can somebody please explain to an idiot (me) how is this possible for this to keep going? I thought that the world has decided that spyware is illegal and can't be produced. Is this company related to israeli government? If not, why is it allowed to function?
The original linkedin post is deleted? Is there a way to recover it? Did anyone archive?
Lots of grammar errors in some buttons, is this legit?
Lots of grammar errors and some really weird/fake lettering. It looks generated to me.
Is there much point blanking the faces when it also names who uploaded the photo....we can easily google them?
