Sara Hamou (also reported as Sara Aleksandra Hamou / Sara Aleksandra Fayssal Hamou) is a corporate manager associated with the Intellexa spyware consortium founded by Tal Dilian. Citizen Lab, citing Haaretz, reported that between 2020 and March 2026 shareholders of Discover-Tech included British Virgin Islands company Chaia Services Ltd, which Haaretz linked to Hamou as a director, and that she managed Intellexa's corporate network.[1]
Intellexa and Greece
US Treasury OFAC designated Sara Aleksandra Fayssal Hamou in March 2024 in connection with Intellexa. In February 2026 an Athens court convicted Dilian, Hamou and two others in the Greek Predator / wiretapping scandal (sentences pending appeal as reported).[2][3]
Disambiguation note
Citizen Lab's Discover-Tech reporting attributes the Chaia Services shareholding to the same Sara Hamou who managed Intellexa's corporate network. This draft treats the Discover-Tech-linked Hamou and Sara Aleksandra Hamou (Intellexa / Dilian partner) as the same person on that basis; if further company-register evidence separates them, the page should be split.
