Quadream was an Israeli surveillance technology company.[1][2] It prominently sold iPhone hacking tools,[2] and was founded in 2014 by a group including two former NSO Group employees, Guy Geva, and Nimrod Reznik.[3] Its offices were in Ramat Gan.[3] The company is suspected to have shut down in April 2023.[4] It is owned by a parent company in Cyprus.[2]

Quadream is believed to have developed "zero-click" exploit tools similar to those used by NSO Group.[5] Its customers include the government of Saudi Arabia.[2][6] In at least 10 countries and continents North America and Europe, governments used tools developed by Quadream against journalists and opposition.[4]
