"More than 30 parties rigged elections around the world", The Guardian
Tal Hanan has always denied any accusations

A scandal involving a group of Israelis was revealed today by The Guardian.

The Guardian reports that the group, led by a former Israeli special forces operative, has rigged more than 30 pairs of elections around the world, using hacking, sabotage and disinformation on social media.

The unit is headed by 50-year-old Tal Hanan, who now works privately using the alias "Jorge" and appears to have worked under the radar in elections in various countries for more than two decades.

The British media investigation reveals extraordinary details about how disinformation is being used as a weapon by the "Jorge" team, which runs a private service that provides covert election interference without leaving a trace.

Hanan told reporters who were not identified as secret service at the time that his services were available to intelligence agencies, political campaigns and private companies that wanted to covertly manipulate public opinion. He said they were used throughout Africa, South and Central America, the US and Europe.

One of the main services of this team is a sophisticated software package, Advanced Impact Media Solutions or Targets, which controls a large army of thousands of fake social media profiles on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, Gmail, Instagram and YouTube. Some avatars even have Amazon accounts with credit cards, bitcoin wallets, and Airbnb accounts.

The group of journalists who investigated the scandal were reporters from 30 different media outlets, including Le Monde, Der Spiegel and El País.

The footage was secretly filmed by three reporters, who approached the Jorge team posing as potential clients.

In more than six hours of secretly recorded meetings, Hanan and his team discussed how they could gather information on rivals, including using hacking techniques to access Gmail and Telegram accounts.

They boasted about feeding material to legitimate news outlets, which were then amplified by Aims bot management software.

Much of their strategy seemed to revolve around disrupting or sabotaging rival campaigns: the team even claimed to have sent a sex toy delivered via Amazon to a politician's home in order to impress his wife. fake that he had an affair.

Hanan described his team as "graduates of government agencies", with expertise in finance, social media and campaigns, as well as "psychological warfare", operating from six offices around the world. Four of Hanan's colleagues attended the meeting, including his brother, Zohar Hanan, who was described as the group's chief executive.

In his initial pitch to potential clients, Hanan asserted: “We are now involved in an election in Africa. We have a team in Greece and a team in the Emirates... You follow the directions. We have completed 33 campaigns at the presidential level, 27 of which were successful." Later, he said he was involved in two "major projects" in the US, but claimed he was not directly involved in US politics.
