CYPRUS POLICE SEIZED AN ISRAELI SPY VAN https://www.timesofisrael.com/cyprus-police-say-they-seized-israeli-spy-van-question-owner/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSO_Group 🔔NSA-LEVEL HACKING TOOLS FOR HIRE🔔  (A surveillance dealer's price list) $1 million - $5.5 million Android and iPhone spyware Also called a trojan, this is the software that hides on an Android or iPhone and siphons off the data within. The best-known is that made by NSO Group. To get a foothold on the device, they first require what's known as an "exploit" - a computer program that abuses weaknesses in the phone so that it's possible to install non-authorized software. Those exploits wildly vary in cost, going well above $1 million for one targeting Apple's iOS. $550,000 - $4 million Wi-Fi interception It's possible to force a smartphone to connect to a malicious Wi-Fi access point. From here, a surveillance company can start to probe the phone for weaknesses and install silent malware, as Intellexa claims it can do. The price varies depending on how the attack is carried out, whether from a van with powerful antennas or a backpack for portability. $1 million - $4 million GSM interception This attacks weaknesses in communications travelling over modern standards like 2G, 3G and 4G. This has become increasingly difficult with improved security coming with each telecoms infrastructure upgrade. But if it succeeds, the tech can snoop on calls, texts and data. As with Wi-Fi, this is for close-range interception. $150,000 - $3 million SS7 location tracking SS7 is a part of the telecoms infrastructure that handles billing and network switching when a user is travelling across countries. Thanks to weaknesses in the way SS7 works, it's possible for anyone with access to that part of the infrastructure to locate a device with just the phone number. This means the spy can use it on any phone in the world, regardless of geography. $2 million - $5.5 million Switch-based location tracking By placing a snooping device on a network, and watching as devices connect in, it's possible to get the location of all those phones. This is done at the switch level - a switch being the network device that handles incoming data and decides where it should go. It's possible to get the location for every user across an entire country in minutes.
