صحفيون متخفون يكشفون هوية العقل المدبر لفريق «خورخي» الإسرائيلي

An international investigative report conducted by a group of undercover journalists from 30 media outlets has revealed the identity of Tal Hanan, a former operative in the Israeli special forces, known as "Jorge," the mastermind behind a highly secretive group of hackers operating internationally.

Hanan and his team, known as "Team Jorge," are accused of manipulating over 30 electoral campaigns around the world, using hacking methods, disinformation, and spreading fake news through social media. A leaked video from secret meetings with journalists showed how the team explained their methods of gathering sensitive information about political opponents and planting misleading materials in newsrooms to amplify them using advanced software.

The investigation reported that the team's services included intelligence agencies, political campaigns, and private companies, for fees ranging from 6 to 15 million euros, with acceptance of payment in cryptocurrencies. Hanan confirmed in the leak that his team successfully influenced 27 out of 33 elections they participated in.

The journalists were able to uncover his true identity after tracing evidence linking his professional accounts to previous connections with Cambridge Analytica, discovering that Hanan is the CEO of the Israeli company "Demoman," which specializes in cybersecurity training and intelligence operations.

This revelation is a major blow to the global disinformation industry, as it highlights a secret network operating in the shadows to influence public opinion worldwide, raising concerns about the rise of targeted cyber operations in international politics.
