✡️👁Do Israeli spies control your VPN?
Many trust Virtual Private Network (VPNs) for secure internet use. But do you know who is behind your ‘secure’ VPN?👇
🔴A company with distinct Israeli flavor
UK-based Kape Technologies dominates the online privacy market, owning:
➡️ExpressVPN
➡️CyberGhost
➡️Private Internet Access
➡️ZenMate
➡️Intego Antivirus
🔴 Led by ex-Israeli intel
👉Kape’s co-founder and long-time CEO Koby Menachemi was a former developer for Unit 8200, Israel’s controversial hi-tech spy unit.
👉Current CEO Ido Erlichman is a veteran of Unit 217, dubbed Duvdevan, elite commandos trained for undercover intelligence and assassinations.
♦️ IDF’s elite spies
➡️Duvdevan — sometimes labelled Israel’s top death squad — is a special forces commando unit specializing in undercover counter-terrorism operations, particularly in the urban environments of the West Bank and Gaza.
➡️It is part of the IDF’s 89th ‘Oz’ Commando Brigade, infamous for sending operatives undercover disguised as Palestinians on covert missions.
♦️Unit 8200
Israel’s premier signals intelligence (SIGINT) and cyber warfare unit boasts massive dossiers on Palestinians and uses personal information for blackmail, whistle-blowers say.
It built AI systems like ‘Lavender’ that churn out automated ‘kill lists’ of suspected militants with shocking tolerance for civilian casualties, according to a +972 Magazine report.
Its agents developed spyware like Pegasus, which targeted more than 50,000 prominent figures worldwide.
