: "In the summer of 2019, as Paragon Solutions was building one the world’s most potent cyberweapons, the company made a prescient decision: before courting a single customer, best get the Americans on side.

The Israeli start-up had watched local rival NSO Group, makers of the controversial Pegasus spyware, fall foul of the Biden administration and be blacklisted in the US. So Paragon sought guidance from top American advisers, secured funding from US venture capital groups and eventually scored a marquee client that eludes its competition: the US government.

Interviews with half a dozen industry figures about the divergent paths of the two companies underline how the shadowy spyware industry is being reshaped around those friendly to American interests.

According to four of those people, the US Drug Enforcement and Administration Agency is among the top customers for Paragon’s signature product nicknamed Graphite."

"This is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race" by Nicole Perlroth.
A thoughtful and perceptive thriller, but it's all too real and all the more terrifying.
The "digital Cassandras and the tinfoil-hat crowd" are not wrong. 's revelations are just the tip of the iceberg.

Thinking of exploits and spyware as a "weapon" is incredibly misguided. Exploits are thoughts. You cannot control who has them or stop them from being shared/traded/trafficked. You can't seize an entire ship of exploits and destroy them. Like a weapon they can easily be turned against their creators, but their is no quantity limit. We need new language and rules just for this space, not adapted from ill-suited laws meant to restrain physical goods.
