ICE Reinstates Contract with Spyware Vendor Paragon (Kevin Poireault – Infosecurity Magazine)

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has reinstated a contract with Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions, now owned by a US private investment firm. Jack Poulson, an independent journalist and author of the Substack blog All-Source Intelligence, reported that ICE had “lifted the stop work order” on a $2m contract with Paragon on August 30. The lifting of the order grants the Israeli-founded firm the ability to provide the US agency with ‘Hardware and perpetual license software,’ as shown on the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS.gov), the US government’s central database for tracking and reporting federal contract actions.
