A pirate website launched Sunday, titled "Welcome to Yonatan Urich's WhatsApp," threatens to expose alleged private correspondence of Yonatan Urich, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's closest advisor. The website, whose creators are unknown, claims it will release Urich's chats with politicians, journalists, and other public figures in the coming days. This follows a Haaretz report last month detailing how Urich developed a cloud-based technological tool for political monitoring and tracking for Netanyahu and his wife, Sara. The report revealed that Urich connected his personal WhatsApp account to an external service from the United Arab Emirates, granting unencrypted access to his sensitive conversations. The current website appears to leverage this vulnerability to expose Urich's private communications.
