The unit is run by Tal Hanan, a former Israeli special forces operative who now works privately using the pseudonym “Jorge”. In more than six hours of secretly recorded meetings, Hanan and his team spoke of how they could gather intelligence on rivals, including by hacking Gmail and Telegram accounts.

This is scary 🙀🙀🙀🙀
We need the full secret recording released
The guardian has some of the most cacamie reporting in the world. Its like your audience is old people or native Indians 😂😂😂
I have been doing this as a hobby last 7-8 years
This isn't hacking or anything. It's just people who have a botnet. If you want an actual botnet that does things, ask the CCP.
so many subcribers but so little view, says much about westerners who only consume anti china, russia propagandas
So they just have bots… that spread misinformation? This reporting is awful, LOL.
This isn't journalism and why we talking about this again right before the US elections just like last time
And yet western governments prefer to arrest old people for facebook jokes.
The usual suspects.
I encourage anyone watching this to go and read 'Troops, Trolls and Troublemakers' by Oxford Uni from 2017. This type of social media manipulation has been happening for many years.
Of course its Israel. Those merchants always need control.
So you found yourself a trollfarm with a botnet lol …
How is this groundbreaking, the suspenseful music and silly editing .. this is just gonna scare my grandma smh
This reeks of boomer bait. Its for people that have no idea how AI or the internet functions lol
This would NEVER happen in America. Especially in the 2020 election😉😉😉😉😉😉
ahahahahaha guardian is pathetic
What sma waste of my time
Finally it looks like Israel is on the verge of collapse. They brought it upon themselves and this video is a one of the ways.
Why isn’t this a bigger story?
It always has been israel with the bots
Hasbara bots
The Usual Suspects who are always the victims huh.
Israel is always Israel 😂
Israel is meddling in the 2024 US elections to help Trump.
bots in the comments..
SOS HELP GREECE!!!!!!!
Tal Hannan is a weird name
'Israel based'. No surprises there. Experts in lying, no one else can compete. They speak 5 words 6 of which are lies.
Well well well
NewsGuard, Global disinformation Index. Liberal disinfo is literally a federal line item
Israel meddled in U.S. Elections
Jo Sahara India ke 10 cr pidito ke sampurna bhugtan ki baat karega bahi Desh par Raaj karega sarkar Sahara India ke 10 cr pidito ke sampurna bhugtan ka elaan kar de nahi to 2024 me Sahara India ke 10 cr pidita sampurna matdan ka bahishkar karenge hum sarkar se bheekh nahi apna paisa maang rahe hai
Lol, the Independent has the Gaul to speak about misinformation. 😂😂😂😂
