ICE Has a $2M Contract for Spyware That Can Hack Phones Without a Click
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement awarded a two‑million‑dollar contract to a surveillance firm for a remote‑access tool that can infiltrate smartphones without requiring the target to click a link. The software, described as a “zero‑click” exploit, allegedly bypasses standard security measures, allowing authorities to capture data and monitor activity. The deal raises concerns about privacy and the use of commercial spyware by government agencies.
