BREAKING: #Israeli private investigator arrested for cyberespionage on behalf of American PR firm.

Caught by UK under #RedNotice from 🇺🇸US while boarding a flight.

BIG TWIST in a wild case that began w/our @citizenlab investigation into indian hack-for-hire group #belltrox

Sound familiar?

Because Amit Forlit is the *second* PI from #Israel arrested in similar way for this case.

First = convicted.

🇬🇧 #Intelligence chiefs have warned ministers they fear #Britain and other key #Ukraine allies are being targeted by #russia saboteurs following a series of suspicious incidents in recent months

These include a wave of fires at arms factories and #military related industrial sites in the West that are supplying #Ukraine

"Lots of fires that we thought were accidents and unconnected have turned out to be connected" the source said

Wild.

2017: An org linked to #Egypt’s #intelligence service withdrew $10M #cash from a Cairo bank, 5 days before #Trump became president.

2019: US investigators learned of the withdrawal. It intensified a #criminal probe into whether money moved from Cairo to Trump, violating federal #law.

Trump’s #DOJ #PoliticalAppointees rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case.

#FBI is investigating suspected #hacking attempts by #Iran targeting both a #Trump associate & advisers to the #Biden-#Harris campaign….

3 staffers on the Biden-Harris campaign received spear phishing emails that were designed to appear legitimate but could give an intruder access to the recipients’ comms [but they weren’t dumb enough to fall for it; unlike Trump/Vance apparently].
