Checkpoint reveals hackers retrieve documents and information from Israelis to be used to lure others into dedicated servers to expand access to high-level officials; Tzipi Livni sounds the alarm after a suspicious email.

The hackers used a false identity of a retired IDF general and Israel's former ambassador to Washington in order to approach the officials. Israeli security authorities were briefed on the breach. The hacking campaign began in December of 2021, Checkpoint said, and continued for at least six months, ending last week.
