A group of Israeli contractors, code-named "Team Jorge," has been exposed in an undercover investigation for allegedly manipulating over 30 global elections, using tactics including hacking, sabotage and the use of automated misinformation on social media. Reporters from 30 international media outlets, including Der Spiegel, Le Monde, El País and The Guardian, were part of the consortium that conducted the investigation.
Forbidden Stories, a French non-profit organisation that aims to continue the work of journalists who have been assassinated, threatened, or imprisoned, coordinated the project.
According to The Guardian, three reporters approached Team Jorge as potential clients and filmed footage for the investigation.
Journalists had meetings with Jorge's leader, Tal Hanan - a former member of the Israeli Special Forces - and his colleagues, both via video calls and in person at Team Jorge's base.
The group apparently offers a sophisticated software package called Advanced Impact Media Solutions (Aims) for those seeking to covertly manipulate public opinion. Its clients allegedly include political campaigns, private companies and intelligence agencies.
During more than six hours of secretly recorded meetings, Hanan and his team discussed various methods for gathering intelligence on rivals, including the use of hacking techniques to gain access to Gmail and Telegram accounts.
The investigators claim that Team Jorge's activities involve generating numerous fake social media profiles on various platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, LinkedIn, Gmail, YouTube and Instagram.
