JAKARTA - Cybersecurity company Corellium has been dealing with companies that have poor ethical practices. This became a scandal that was quite embarrassing for companies in the US.

Apple has even prepared a 507-page document for use against cybersecurity startup Corellium in its 2019 copyright lawsuit. The document, reviewed by Wired, reveals that Corellium is involved with controversial companies including the NSO group; a spyware maker company from Israel.

Corellium which specializes in phone virtualization software and sells it for development and debugging purposes.

The leaked documents contain the company's internal communications with controversial government spyware and hacking tool makers in Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Russia, as well as possible ties to the Chinese government.

In short, Corellium has been involved with businesses that have a history of selling their products to oppressive governments and states with a terrible reputation for human rights.

The leaked documents also shed light on Corellium's business with the NSO Group in 2019. They sold a test version of their tool to the NSO group, which is notorious for using Pegasus spyware against journalists and human rights defenders for years.

Similarly, Corellium's sales team made an offer for DarkMatter to buy its software, a now-defunct cybersecurity company with connections to the UAE government.

They also employed several former US intelligence agents to spy on journalists and human rights activists. Corellium has claimed that they have denied NSO Group and DarkMatter full access to the software after assessing them.

Corellium has established itself as an essential tool against bugs on iOS and Android, and states that it checks with the companies it works with to ensure they are not acting in bad faith.
