An Alliance for Digital Privacy
For years a smoke screen has hidden threat groups who exploit networks and phones for surveillance operations. Our mission is to provide operational intelligence to those who care about the security and privacy of their mobile existence.
Founded by a Mobile Insider, Created for Mobile Users
Founded by former mobile security executive and whistleblower, The Mobile Intelligence Alliance is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on reducing cyber threats to mobile users. We implement data-driven research, conduct forensic investigations, and produce intelligence to advance information privacy.

Evidence of violations by publicly traded telecommunications companies engaged in deliberate and/or knowing participants in massive, illegal spying efforts conducted for the benefit of foreign intelligence agencies and hostile, for-hire, non-state actors.
Enclosures of evidence showing reports of detected domestic and foreign mobile telecommunications operators engaged in mobile signaling-based surveillance attacks targeting US mobile phones.
Included disclosures of over 6000 personally-identifiable device numbers (both phone numbers and International Mobile Subscriber Identifier or “IMSI” numbers), and details about the type and number of threat instances. This disclosure shows that Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for particular mobile subscribers have already had their privacy violated in a fashion that may violate the laws or regulations of the United States and/or other jurisdictions.
Includes exhibits describing communications with NSO Group to purchase confidential access to mobile network subscriber data globally. Given the extensive, credible public reporting on NSO Group’s complicity with repressive governments, including with Saudi Arabian intelligence before and during the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, this evidence may support allegations that NSO Group conspired to violate various U.S. and/or foreign laws.
