Intellexa Leaks: Another Spyware Shitshow from Hell

Oh, bloody fantastic — the clowns at Intellexa decided to leave their digital pants around their ankles and now the world knows exactly how their Predator spyware circus rolls. The leaks spill the beans on zero-day exploits, sleazy ad-based infection vectors, and a general “how to be a bastard” playbook for spying on anyone with a pulse. Because of course, nothing screams “We care about privacy” like secretly dropping malware through online ads — the same ones you’ve been ignoring while browsing cat memes.

Turns out Intellexa’s spyware toolkit can turn your shiny smartphone into a snitch faster than you can say “GDPR violation.” They’ve been flogging this crap to governments and “law enforcement” types, which in this context means “any creepy bastard with a budget.” The leaked docs expose how they used zero-day vulnerabilities in major platforms, meaning your phone could get owned while you’re just doomscrolling or trying to order takeout. Lovely, innit?

And don’t even get me started on the ad-based delivery. Intellexa apparently thought, “Hey, you know what people love? Infected advertising networks!” Because nothing says trust like malware hitching a ride on the same infrastructure that sells us toothpaste and gambling apps. The whole digital ecosystem’s basically a festering bog of surveillance and incompetence, and now it’s documented in glorious technicolor, thanks to these leaks.

If there’s any justice, every developer involved should be forced to use Internet Explorer 6 on dial-up for eternity as penance. Because this level of security negligence and moral bankruptcy deserves nothing less.

Reminds me of the time I left a honeypot wide open just to see how fast some halfwit script kiddies would brag about their “hack” online. It took them three minutes flat — and another two before I fired off a nice little surprise ending for them. Karma’s a bitch, and so am I.
