On Wednesday, the report said that the server infrastructure used by Paragon in the Seller Codenamed graphite can use the Server infrastructure for a spy program based on “a clue from an occupier.”
After developing this end and developed several fingerprints that are able to identify related paragon servers and digital certificates, citizen laboratory researchers found several IP addresses in local telecom companies. The citizen laboratory believes that the servers owned by paragon customers, partially visible to the names of the countries based on the initials of the servers.
According to a civilian laboratory, one of the fingerprints prepared by researchers, brought a digital certificate that appears to be an important operating error by Spyware Maker.
“Evidence of strong conditions support the connection between the paragon and infrastructure,” the citizen laboratory wrote in the report.
“The infrastructure we find is associated with web pages related to webpages, as well as” paragon-based paragon), as well as a paragon-based TLS certificate “TLS”, “Paragonun”.

Maybe because we use the tips, both in the most difficult cases, even in the most difficult cases, with the exchange of cooperation and information. ”
David Yambio, who worked closely with a cycling and others in NGOs, said he analyzed the iPhone. Yambio received a notification about Apple’s phone targeted with a mercenary spy program, but the researchers could not find the proof of Paragon’s spy program.
