Pirate accounts on Telegram and WhatsApp are threatening to expose personal correspondence belonging to Yonatan Urich, an advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The threats emerged on Sunday, approximately two weeks after reports surfaced that Urich had connected his personal WhatsApp account to an external service operated from the United Arab Emirates. This incident, which could reveal sensitive internal information, follows an earlier revelation by "Eretz" last month. Urich had developed an AI-powered system to monitor communications for the Prime Minister and his wife. During this development, Urich reportedly left the system's code exposed online, including sensitive access details. This exposure is now believed to be a significant security breach potentially leading to the leak of personal data. It was further discovered that Urich had linked his personal WhatsApp account to a service from a Dubai-based company, granting it unencrypted access to his conversations. The AI tool Urich created was designed to provide immediate alerts to the Prime Minister and his wife regarding "spreading news" about them, scanning about 50 news sources every 90 seconds and sending WhatsApp alerts for rapid response. The software code, as mentioned, was left exposed online, revealing unique identifiers and keys for WhatsApp groups.
