Spyware Found on Phones of Two Senior Officials in Gadi Eizenkot's Campaign Headquarters
Security scans conducted daily over recent weeks at Gadi Eizenkot's election campaign headquarters uncovered spyware on the mobile phones of two senior staff members. The malicious software was designed for eavesdropping, monitoring activity, and extracting sensitive political and strategic information. Importantly, Eizenkot himself was not affected, and the compromised devices did not belong to him. Despite the severity of the breach, the campaign team chose not to file a formal complaint with Israeli police. Instead, they are relying on continuous cooperation with a private cybersecurity firm that performs daily scans and have implemented enhanced protective measures across the headquarters' computing and communication systems. This incident highlights the high level of cyber threats faced by political campaigns in Israel.
