Netanyahu Confidant and Shadow Broker Mordechai Sander Dies at 67

Mordechai (Moti) Sander, a businessman and confidant of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, died Sunday at 67. Sander acted as a discreet intermediary between political figures, including Netanyahu and President Herzog. He gained public attention in January 2026 for claiming Herzog offered to help Netanyahu with legal issues in exchange for presidential election support, which both the President's Residence and Likud denied. Netanyahu has historically utilized such shadow figures for communication.

How to Detect and Prevent Unauthorized Access to Your Security Cameras

Security cameras connected to the internet are vulnerable to cyber threats, potentially exposing sensitive information and allowing unauthorized surveillance. Signs of a breach include unfamiliar logins, new users, setting changes, or missing recordings. Users can check for unauthorized access by reviewing connected devices in the camera's app, removing unknown users, and enabling two-factor authentication. If a breach is suspected, changing passwords, removing users, and contacting support or the National Cyber Directorate are recommended steps.
