Intellexa group produces asoftware called Predator that can secretly take over the microphone and camera on a targeted mobile phone

Intellexa Ltd’s current address is listed as an office building down a laneway in Dublin’s north inner city, which also houses a company offering Bible study courses and several other businesses.

When it was first incorporated in Ireland, the activities of Intellexa Ltd were listed as being a “reseller of technologies” in a January 2020 company document. Tal Dilian, an entrepreneur and former Israeli intelligence officer, founded the Intellexa spyware group. Initially running operations from Cyprus in 2019, he later opened branches in Greece and elsewhere after running into trouble with the Cypriot authorities.

Sara Hamou, a Polish national with an address in Cyprus, who Israeli media previously reported is married to Mr Dilian, is listed as the director of the Irish companies.Its Irish financial accounts from 2021 show the bulk of the group’s money was made from sales in the Middle East, which accounted for €29.5 million of its €34.3 million in sales that year.
