Back on March 21, 2025, we examined reporting concerning Israeli-developed spyware and its reported use by Ontario law enforcement.
Neil BissonHOST
The discussion included Paragon Solutions, the company behind Graphite, as well as NSO Group and Pegasus Spyware.
Neil BissonHOST
At that time, we discussed the genuine operational value that sophisticated surveillance technology can provide to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

And, I mean, Paragon Solutions is—see, both Paragon Solutions that makes spyware, graphite, and the NSO group that makes Pegasus are both Israeli companies.
Sam BownePANELIST
And in both cases, their product is used by all sorts of evil regimes to hurt people.
Sam BownePANELIST
And NSO got banned, and I think the other one got banned for a while by the Biden administration— But they both want to get into the U.S. market and sell to like the military.
Sam BownePANELIST
Oh.
Sam BownePANELIST
Well, it's a big one, and I mean, Paragon Solutions is...

Sam BownePANELIST
But they both wanna get into the US market and sell to, like, the military, so they found a way to sort of pretend to be a US-owned company.
Paul AsadoorianHOST
Mm-hmm.
Sam BownePANELIST
Oh, it's a big one.
Sam BownePANELIST

Sam BowneHOST
And so they were banned from the USA in 2021 for allowing malicious use.
Sam BowneHOST
But Paragon Solutions was also from Israel, but they went to Enron where they arranged to be American owned on paper.
Sam BowneHOST
They got technically bought out and partnered with like an American finance company or something.
Sam BowneHOST
And so their graphite spyware tool has not been blocked.
