The Former Israeli Spies Working in Top Jobs at Google, Facebook and Microsoft – MintPress - June 2023

AMintPress study has found that hundreds of former agents of the notorious Israeli spying organization, Unit 8200, have attained positions of influence in many of the world’s biggest tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon.

The Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) Unit 8200 is infamous for surveilling the indigenous Palestinian population, amassing kompromat on individuals for the purposes of blackmail and extortion. Spying on the world’s rich and famous, Unit 8200 hit the headlines last year, after the Pegasus scandal broke. Former Unit 8200 officers designed and implemented software that spied on tens of thousands of politicians and likely aided in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

😅Не знаю как можно смотреть без улыбки на такие новости/расследования.

😅I don't know how you can look at such news/investigations without a smile.

📑Who Paid for a Mysterious Spy Tool? The F.B.I., an F.B.I. Inquiry Found.
"When The New York Times reported in April that a contractor had purchased and deployed a spying tool made by NSO, the contentious Israeli hacking firm, for use by the U.S. government, White House officials said they were unaware of the contract and put the F.B.I. in charge of figuring out who might have been using the technology.
After an investigation, the F.B.I. uncovered at least part of the answer: It was the F.B.I."🤣
📑FBI Ordered to Find Out Which Agency Disobeyed White House in Secret Deal, Finds Out It Was Itself.
"Now, several months later, the bureau’s investigation is complete, and it turns out that the agency that disobeyed the White House and purchased the creepy NSO tool was...the FBI."🤣

Manufacturing Bipartisan Consent For #Biometric #Surveillance

Joining me once again today is TLAV writer and researcher, and founder/editor of Unlimited Hangout, Whitney Webb, here to discuss the biometric surveillance network being built around democrat and republican alike, while they all squabble about manufactured distractions and situations designed to manufacture bipartisan consent. She explains how this is connected to the push for global governance, the digital #ID, and even Israel and their infamous #unit8200.

🔴 Using #WhatsApp helps the israeli army pick targets in Gaza

In April 2024, +972 Magazine journalist Yuval Abraham revealed the existence of Lavender ⁠AI: a system that automatically picks bombing targets. Lavender collects information on most of the 2.3 million residents of Gaza through a system of mass surveillance, then assesses the likelihood that each particular person is active in Hamas or PIJ, giving almost every single person in Gaza a rating from 1 to 100.

The article said that the current commander of #Unit8200 wrote in a guide book for Lavender ⁠AI that the features being used to select targets include “being in a WhatsApp group with a known militant, changing cell phone every few months, and changing addresses frequently.”

“The sources told +972 and Local Call that, during the first weeks of the war, the army almost completely relied on Lavender.” Israel has deployed additional automated systems, e.g., ‘Where's ⁠Daddy’ signals when a target has entered his family home.

Last week, The Intercept wrote that many WhatsApp employees fear that Israel has been using a vulnerability based on traffic analysis. According to their assessment: “[Deep Packet] Inspection and analysis of network traffic is completely invisible to us, yet it reveals the connections between our users: who is in a group together, who is messaging who, and (hardest to hide) who is calling who”... [A typical threat is due to peer-to-peer calls between users, which can be disabled on Telegram since many years ago but on WhatsApp only since Nov ⁠8, 2023 ⁠!]

Anger grows within Labour over role of ex-Israeli military intelligence official | Middle East Eye


Senior UK Labour Party figures have reacted with anger and dismay to the organisation's decision to recruit an Israeli former military intelligence officer as one of its social media managers.

Assaf Kaplan, who served with the Israeli army's signals intelligence and surveillance agency known as Unit 8200, was recruited last year to work in the office of the party leader, Keir Starmer.

While Unit 8200 is the counterpart of civilian-run agencies in the West such as the National Security Agency in the US and the UK's GCHQ, it has faced fierce criticism for its role in maintaining close surveillance of the Palestinian civilian population.

A MintPress News study has unearthed a network of former agents of israeli spying agency Unit 8200 working at #TikTok, a company charged with supposedly being a Chinese-owned hub of anti-Semitic content.

🇵🇸 Israeli spy agencies develop ‘Chat GPT-like’ AI tool to target Palestinians: Report | The Cradle

Israel has compiled an extensive collection of intercepted Palestinian communications to develop an artificial intelligence tool similar to #ChatGPT, which it aims to use to enhance its #espionage capabilities, according to an investigation by the Guardian released on 6 March. 

The investigation uncovered that the IOF’s #Unit8200 programmed the #AI tool to understand colloquial #Arabic by using large amounts of Palestinian phone calls and text messages obtained through its surveillance. 

Unit 8200 “began building the model to create a sophisticated chatbot-like tool capable of answering questions about people it is monitoring and providing insights into the massive volumes of #surveillance #data it collects,” the investigation revealed.

#Google is buying Wiz for $32B to beef up in cloud security, sources say

📝 Nate Bear: Google's acquisition of israeli cybersecurity company Wiz will mark the single largest transfer of former Unit 8200 israeli spies into any American company. All Wiz founders are former 8200 as are dozens of staff, from office managers to product analysts to software engineers

Wiz co-founder Ami Luttwak led a "mission critical R&D team" for #Unit8200, a unit that wrote the programming which automated the genocide of Gaza. Luttwak and team won the 'israel Defence Award 2012' for his work in 8200

The other co-founders of Wiz - Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica and Roy Reznik - are all former Unit 8200 members who served beyond mandatory service. I have a list of around 50 former Unit 8200 members who are current Wiz employees

#Wiz acquisition puts #israeli intelligence in charge of your #Google data

https://www.mintpressnews.com/oogle-wiz-cybersecurity-data-deal/289413/

.. Yet it has also raised fears about the security of user data, particularly of those who oppose Israeli actions against its neighbors, given #Unit8200’s long history of using tech to spy on opponents, gather intelligence, and use that knowledge for extortion and blackmail.. .

Google’s purchase of Wiz deepens its already close ties to Unit 8200. In 2013, the tech giant acquired Waze, an online maps service founded by three Unit 8200 veterans, for $1.3 billion. It has also directly hired dozens of former spooks and spies to fill its ranks; a 2022 MintPress News investigation found at least 99 former Unit 8200 agents working at the Silicon Valley behemoth.

#why #unit8200

Since 2022, #israel’s #Unit8200 has been using a #surveillance program, hosted on a customized #Microsoft #Azure #cloud partition, to record and store voice recordings of millions of #Palestinian phone calls each day from Gaza and the West Bank.

The system operates at an enormous scale, capturing up to a million calls per hour and storing about 11,500 terabytes, which equals around 200 million hours of audio by mid-2025. The data has been used to plan airstrikes, carry out detentions, and even engage in the extortion or blackmail of Palestinians.
