A new report by Citizen Lab names Singapore as one of six governments suspected of using spyware from Israeli firm Paragon Solutions.

The report, published on 19 March 2024, links Paragon’s Graphite spyware to infrastructure in Singapore, Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, and Israel.

Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Toronto, identified the spyware’s presence by mapping its server infrastructure. Using digital fingerprints, researchers found Graphite-linked servers hosted at telecom providers in the suspected countries, suggesting potential deployment by government agencies.

How Graphite spyware works​

According to Citizen Lab, Graphite spyware operates by targeting specific applications rather than the device’s entire operating system. This approach makes it harder to detect through conventional forensic methods.

One known attack method involves adding a target to a WhatsApp group chat, exploiting a vulnerability in how PDFs are processed. This technique allows the spyware to execute its code and compromise the device without any user interaction.

The spyware has been linked to multiple victims, including Italian NGO worker Beppe Caccia. His Android device was found to be infected with Graphite, compromising at least two unidentified apps.

Singaporean authorities’ silence on surveillance concerns​

The Singaporean government has previously faced questions about its potential use of surveillance technologies, but official responses have been absent.

In December 2024, The Online Citizen (TOC) sent an email to Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam seeking clarification on the government’s surveillance practices, particularly regarding opposition members.

The email, sent on 3 December 2024, inquired about potential monitoring of political opponents, referencing concerns raised during the perjury trial involving Workers’ Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh and former WP MP Raeesah Khan.

Former WP cadre member Yudhishthra Nathantestified during the trial that party members had deleted messages out of fear that “some external force or party would be able to read these messages if, for example, Raeesah Khan’s phone had been hacked.”

Nathan also described an atmosphere of fear within WP, where members switched off their phones and stored them outside meeting rooms to prevent potential surveillance. Similar concerns arose when the party met with its disciplinary panel, with phones being left outside the office.

In his email, TOC’s Chief Editor Terry Xu posed five key questions to the Minister of Home Affairs, including whether the Singapore government had ever used surveillance tools like Pegasus or FinSpy, and what safeguards were in place to prevent unauthorised monitoring of opposition figures.

To date, no response has been received from Singaporean authorities.

Of course PAP spy on you. So what? Scared?

In return you talk shit about them and encourage other to do the same. Once there is a critical mass gaslighting them, their spywares will no longer be useful.

Divide & conquer short term memory sinkies one by one that refused to fall into their schemes. The people being part of the machinery didn't want to walk out but continue to do the dirty work.

Good hands like to hear only good things.
They don't like to hear anything other than good things. Things that are not good is just noise.
