in Amman, Jordan. The protest followed recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump that the U.S. would “take over” and “own” Gaza after the end of the current war between Hamas and Israel, and that Palestinians in Gaza would leave for neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt.

Court documents from criminal proceedings under Jordan\u2019s 2023 Cybercrime Law supplied additional evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The cases Citizen Lab evaluated transpired between late 2023 and mid-2025, during a time of protests in support of Palestinians. They involved a political activist, student organizer, activist\/researcher and human rights defender, three of whom had iPhones and the other of whom had an Android device.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Citizen Lab probe adds to a body of reporting about alleged Cellebrite abuses. Last year, Amnesty International reported that Serbian authorities had used Cellebrite in conjunction with spyware to <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/amnesty-international-exposes-serbian-polices-use-of-spyware-on-journalists-activists\/\">eavesdrop on activists and journalists<\/a>, the latter category of whom have reportedly had their phones accessed in a number of countries via Cellebrite tech.<\/p>\n<p>Citizen Lab further concluded that products by the Israel-based Cellebrite are widely used against civil society in Jordan, with forensic data showing its use dating back to at least 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurveillance is not limited to spyware,\u201d said the lead author of the report, Kamel Al-Shawareb, a pseudonymous research fellow at Citizen Lab. \u201cAuthoritarian states access smartphone data remotely with spyware like Pegasus or by physically seizing a device and using Cellebrite to access the contents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Activists whose phones Citizen Lab examined said it shook their confidence and had them resorting to self-censorship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt wronged and violated, like they stole something from me, and not because they\u2019re strong, but because we\u2019re legally weak,\u201d one of the people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.occrp.org\/en\/news\/jordan-used-israeli-tech-to-crack-phones-of-gaza-war-protestors-report\">told the OCCRP<\/a> on condition of anonymity. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Victor Cooper, a spokesperson for Cellebrite, said that the company can\u2019t disclose specific information on its customers. But he said it prohibits transactions with any entities on the sanctions list of the United States and other nations and organizations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond these baselines, the company vets potential customers against internal human rights parameters, leading us to historically cease business in jurisdictions where risks were deemed incompatible with our corporate values,\u201d he said in an email to CyberScoop. \u201cWe license technology solely for lawful purposes, requiring customers to explicitly certify they possess valid legal authority prior to usage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that Cellebrite tech, unlike spyware, can\u2019t intercept communications or monitor devices in real time, but rather can access private data under legal processes to aid investigations after something has occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take seriously all allegations of potential misuse of our technology in ways that would run counter to both explicit and implied conditions outlined in our end-user agreement,\u201d Cooper said. \u201c\u202fOnce solid information is shared with Cellebrite, we review the allegations and take proactive precise steps to investigate each claim in accordance with\u202four ethics and integrity policies. When appropriate we stop the use of our products by the relevant customers.\u202f\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citizen Lab said Cellebrite\u2019s responses to its questions as part of the investigation were \u201cvague and unsubstantiated.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jordan\u2019s Ministry of Government Affairs and its embassy in the United States did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/researchers-find-jordan-government-used-cellebrite-phone-cracking-tech-against-activists-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
