Description

OryxLabs is an Abu Dhabi-based cybersecurity firm. Established in 2020, the company specializes in DNS monitoring and zero-day exploit research. Under the leadership of Sumit Dhar, a former executive at DarkMatter and Digital14, OryxLabs has recruited a team of former spyware and surveillance tech developers, including veterans from Beacon Red and Connection Systems. DarkMatter's surveillance activities included targeting journalists, activists, and dissidents with spyware and hacking tools. One of its operations, known as Project Raven, involved ex-U.S. intelligence operatives conducting cyber-espionage on behalf of the UAE. This included hacking into email accounts, tracking individuals' movements, and gathering private data. Journalists were specifically targeted to suppress dissent and monitor media activities critical of the UAE government. In 2023, OryxLabs was acquired by EDGE, the defense conglomerate based in the UAE.
