ICE’s Malware Meltdown: Why Paragon’s Contract is a Recipe for Spyware Chaos
The reactivation of the ICE-Paragon Solutions contract has raised eyebrows, not because it’s a spy movie plot twist, but because Paragon is a known spyware vendor. Graphite malware’s misuse in Italy heightens concerns over potential U.S. misuse. Remember, updating your phone isn’t just for the latest emoji—it could keep spyware at bay!
Hot Take:
Well, it looks like ICE has decided to jump back on the Paragon Solutions spyware bandwagon, proving once again that sometimes, breaking up is hard to do—especially when there’s $2 million on the line and a nifty workaround for pesky executive orders. Who needs ethics when you have loopholes?
Key Points:
- ICE reactivates $2 million contract with Paragon Solutions, a spyware manufacturer.
- Paragon’s “Graphite” malware has a history of misuse, notably in Italy.
- Contract revival facilitated by acquisition and merger maneuvers in the US.
- Exec Order 14093 intended to block foreign spyware is skirted by this deal.
- Users advised to update devices and enable security modes to protect against Graphite.
