In February 2026, a Paragon Solutions employee posted a photo on her LinkedIn profile showing the Graphite spyware in action. The post has now been deleted.
Reot Yaman is a general consultant and Chief Compliance Officer at Paragon Solutions, an Israeli cyber surveillance technology company. The company was founded in 2019 by a group of former Israeli intelligence officers, including Ehud Schneerson, former commander of Unit 8,200 (the Israeli equivalent of the US National Security Agency), as well as former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
The publication was first noticed by technology researcher Jurre van Bergen, who tracks the use and distribution of spyware around the world.
The image appears to show a Graphite system demo interface. The operator can view messages intercepted from the target of surveillance on various services, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Line and TikTok.
According to the results of a large-scale investigation conducted by The Citizen Lab in 2025, dozens of journalists and individuals were attacked in Italy with graffiti using the WhatsApp messenger in 2024. For this, a "zero click" exploit (which does not require user interaction) is used.
Paragon Solutions has (or has had) contracts with US government agencies, specifically the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
