Reuters in its report added that “One of QuaDream’s (an Israeli surveillance company) first clients was the Singaporean government.”

The Straits Times print edition omits a few paragraphs from a Reuters report which included that the Singapore Government may have been one of the early customers of Quadream, an Israeli surveillance company.

The analysts who spoke to Reuters believe NSO and QuaDream’s exploits were similar because they leveraged many of the same vulnerabilities hidden deep inside Apple’s instant messaging platform and used a comparable approach to plant malicious software on targeted devices, according to three of the sources.

“Mexican, Singaporean, Indonesian and Saudi officials did not return messages seeking comment about QuaDream.” Prices appeared to vary. One QuaDream system, which would have given customers the ability to launch 50 smartphone break-ins per year, was being offered for US$2.2 million exclusive of maintenance costs, according to the 2019 brochure.Over the years, QuaDream and NSO Group employed some of the same engineering talent, according to three people familiar with the matter.
