- LegitShady 5y agosource? My thought is if you tried this in israel the actual intelligence apparatus would have you picked up pretty quickly and in a dark hole for as long as they wanted.
- monocasa 5y agoThey are part of the actual intelligence apparatus, or at least former. The execs are former members of Unit 8200, the Israeli SIGINT org. And companies like their's are where former IDF SIGINT officers go after service. And their company is a major piece of Israeli diplomacy; access to their software was one of the carrots Israel has been using to push gulf state away from Iran.
- LegitShady 5y agoSo no source and no understanding that because of compulsive military service most of Israel is ex military and no intelligence agency will allow the government to be blackmailed by a private intelligence firm? Seems like a conspiracy theorist to me.
