I think there's always been scrutiny. It's been clear for a long time that Israel has very sophisticated IT security/intelligence capabilities and that in addition to using them for it's direct national security and military goals, these capabilities have been commercialised.
The ugly truth is that offering these capabilities to whoever will pay for them is a good business to be in. In addition to getting paid for it, Israel also gets access to all the intelligence gathered by their services for these clients. It's a win-win for them.
The only way to stop them doing this would be to make the costs of these activities greater than the benefits. I'm not sure how that can be done.
