Quote:Boldend, a San Diego-based startup, has kept a low profile since its founding in 2017 in San Diego. It only has one customer, one that demands secrecy: the U.S. government. Boldend was reported to have developed a capability to hack WhatsApp, though it was closed off in a security update in January 2021. A slide in a presentation to defense giant Raytheon claimed that Boldend is backed by Founders Fund, the investment vehicle of billionaire Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel. Thiel is also now an investor in an anti-ransomware company, Halcyon, sources close to the companies said.
