Assessment
A spyware scandal has hit the campaign of Gad Aizenkot, head of the Yashar party. Malware designed to intercept conversations and steal political and strategic information was found on phones belonging to two senior campaign staffers.

A private cybersecurity firm hired by the campaign detected the malicious software during two separate checks. The discovery raises serious questions about who planted the spyware and what sensitive information may have been compromised.
