#ParagonGraphite #Graphite #Apple #iOS
On April 29, 2025, a select group of iOS users were notified by Apple that they were targeted with advanced spyware. Among the group were two journalists that consented for the technical analysis of their cases. The key findings from our forensic analysis of their devices are summarized below:
Our forensic analysis concluded that one of the journalist’s devices was compromised with Paragon’s Graphite spyware in January and early February 2025 while running iOS 18.2.1. We attribute the compromise to Graphite with high confidence because logs on the device indicated that it made a series of requests to a server that, during the same time period, matched our published Fingerprint P1. We linked this fingerprint to Paragon’s Graphite spyware with high confidence.
