Meet Toka, the Most Dangerous Israeli Spyware Firm You've Never Heard Of – Mint Press - 2021 - Whitney Webb
Toka was launched in 2018 with the explicit purpose of selling a “tailored ecosystem of cyber capabilities and software products for governmental, law enforcement, and security agencies.” According to a profile of the company published in Forbes shortly after it launched, Toka advertised itself as “a one-stop hacking shop for governments that require extra capability to fight terrorists and other threats to national security in the digital domain.”
Toka launched with plans to “provide spy tools for whatever device its clients require,” including not only smartphones but a “special focus on the so-called Internet of Things (IoT).” Per the company, this includes devices like Amazon Echo, Google Nest-connected home products, as well as connected fridges, thermostats and alarms. Exploits in these products discovered by Toka.

The eyes and ears that decapitated Hezbollah | The Cradle As Hezbollah reels from a wave of assassinations deep within its strongholds, an unseen war rages – one fought not with bullets, but with hacked signals, infiltrated networks, and a digital battlefield…
Israel has developed an extensive cyber-espionage industry capable of exploiting these vulnerabilities. One of the most significant players in this domain is Toka, a firm founded by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and ex-occupation army cyber chief Yaron Rosen. Toka specializes in hacking security cameras, enabling operators to locate, breach, and monitor surveillance systems without detection.The company’s technology is particularly effective against outdated or insecure camera models, making Dahua’s widespread usage in Hezbollah strongholds an exploitable weakness.
Internal documents obtained by Haaretz revealed the extent of Toka’s capabilities. AI-powered software maps every security camera in a target area, infiltrates their systems, and builds a comprehensive heatmap of movement patterns.#Toka
