SANCTIONED SPYWARE MAKER INTELLEXA HAD DIRECT ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT ESPIONAGE VICTIMS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Researchers from Amnesty International and a coalition of newspapers released a series of reports based on data from Intellexa, a company selling spyware to governments and other clients. The leaked data included training videos showing that Intellexa employees could remotely access some of their customers through TeamViewer. Intellexa denies any misconduct, asserting that it only uses TeamViewer with client permission and supervision for technical support when issues need fixing.
