Meta claims

According to reports, the hackers shared electronic documents with spyware without any interaction, which tried to make a dent in the users' devices. The Israeli company Paragon Solutions has not yet reacted in this case. META claims that it stopped this cyber attack before it succeeded. However, it was not clarified by using which technology the attack was identified.

This attack has happened before

Israeli spyware companies have been facing such allegations before. Canada-based Internet Watchdog Citizen Lab says that Paragon Solutions sell high-end surveillance software to government agencies to protect crime and national security. But it is a matter of investigation to use such tools for monitoring journalists and people of civil society. Earlier, a case of targeting WhatsApp users by the spyware of Israeli company Pegasus has been reported, which had a lot of controversy. META has informed American agencies about this new cyber attack and further investigation is on.
