Description
Dreamlab Technologies, a Swiss company, was involved in a surveillance project in Turkmenistan in partnership with Gamma International GmbH (creators of the FinFisher spyware). Documents leaked by WikiLeaks revealed that Dreamlab helped establish an "Infection Proxy Infrastructure" on Turkmenistan's networks, enabling widespread surveillance. This infrastructure allowed for the infection of devices through fake software updates, file downloads, or website injections, granting full access to personal data, emails, social media messages, and even enabling remote control of microphones and cameras. Dreamlab provided technical services, including network analysis, hardware and software installation, staff training, and system maintenance. The leaked documents suggest the two companies also collaborated for similar interception projects in Oman. According to Intelligence Online, Dreamlab has since diversified its operations, creating new ventures like Slinf, a threat intelligence firm co-founded with German SIGINT experts, which develops tools such as RATspotting for detecting command-and-control servers and CyKnife for open-source intelligence. Dreamlab previously collaborated with German defense group Rheinmetall to create the consulting firm Cyel. In 2019, Cyel was split, with part of its operations integrated into Dreamlab and the rest taken over by Rheinmetall under the name Cyber Works. Dreamlab maintains offices in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Oman, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Bolivia, Peru, India, Malaysia and Chile.
