The 'About the Author' doesnt really try to hold info back either
> Brigadier General Y.S is an expert analyst, commander of an elite intelligence unit and technology manager with 20 years of experience working on national security issues and challenges threatening the State of Israel. His areas of expertise include cyber and data science. In 2018, he was awarded the prestigious Israel Defense Prize for a new artificial intelligence based anti-terrorism project. He wrote his most recent book, The Human Machine Team, during his year of studying for a Master’s Degree at the National Defense University in Washington, DC. Y.S also has written other books in Hebrew on the topics of intelligence, strategy, and Hezbollah. He holds a BA in Middle East Studies and another BA in Psychology and Sociology. He grew up in Haifa and currently lives with his family in the beautiful Galilee region of Israel.
- pksebben 3y agoI believe the revelation is that this particular Brigadier General is leading specifically unit 8200. I'm sure that the line > n expert analyst, commander of an elite intelligence unit and technology manager with 20 years of experience working on national security issues and challenges Fits neatly into quite a few punched-up resumes and 'about' pages.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoHow many matches do you think there are for "In 2018, he was awarded the prestigious Israel Defense Prize for a new artificial intelligence based anti-terrorism project"?
- pksebben 3y agookay, yeah. Not many. That is patently poor opsec.
- nvr219 3y agoYeah how was this such a secret?
- dmurray 3y agoPerhaps whichever HR department in the IDF covers publishing books has a checklist that says "serving members cannot publish books about intelligence operations under their own name", but no one who actually enforces an anonymization policy.
- stef25 3y agoYeah this is either an opsec blunder or a smokescreen. Sariel is an anagram for Israel.
- feraloink 3y agoVery nice! Sariel is one of the 5 archangels in Judaism. I think (in descending order) they are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Sariel. I don't remember the 5th. Also, how many brigadier generals could Israel have? It seems like a smokescreen, but... idk idk
