Description
Predator is an Android and iOS spyware sold by commercial surveillance vendors to government clients, and its campaigns have targeted journalists, activists, and political figures. Its Android component pairs with network level implants to capture messages, calls, and credentials, and its operators deploy it through phishing links and zero click chains. The market for such mercenary tooling has drawn international scrutiny and sanctions, and its detections warrant immediate incident response.
