Revealed: Israeli Cyber Firms Have Developed an 'Insane' New Spyware Tool

> But some have the ability to take advantage of that fraction of a second to perform a much more malicious mission: to send people a distinctive, seemingly innocent, ad that contains advanced spyware

> One of these companies is Insanet, whose existence is being made public here for the first time. As its name suggests, it possesses insane capabilities, according to sources in the industry. Founded by a number of well-known entrepreneurs in the fields of offensive cyber and digital intelligence, the company is owned by former ranking members of the defense establishment, including a past head of the National Security Council, Dani Arditi

> The company’s personnel also succeeded in obtaining authorization from the Defense Ministry to sell their technology globally

> The defense establishment is genuinely worried that these technological abilities will also be sold by foreign firms that are not subject to supervision at al

It's good that Israeli's Defense Ministry makes sure these companies work only with lawful governments and e.g. targeting exile Russian journalists would not happen (:

People call me a thief for always blocking adtech where possible.

... Think I'll keep being a thief, thanks.
