alt Hacker NewsThere are dozens of firms in NATO countries and especially the US that do this kind of signals intelligence and surveillance work. I see no evidence at all that the US IC uses Israel for any kind of cover; we have native firms enabling sigint at the highest levels. "Cover" only makes sense if you're using it exclusively, but most CNE enablement work in NATO is done by NATO firms.

Cover is behaving horribly out in the open and having half of US politicians run cover for you by demonizing your detractors as anti-Semitic. The US has been shielding them for decades, though not exclusively. That time is waning.
Israel stands alone in its cyber crime though. I'm not aware of any other country that has committed an act of mass terrorism by blowing up consumer devices.

List them? I asked AI for a list of mercenary hacking firms and it turned up:
NSO Group (Israel)
Intellexa Consortium (a bunch of countries including Israel, and the founder is Israeli)
Candiru (Israel)
Paragon Solutions (Israel)
RCS Lab (Italy)
