Ynet description that two of the nearly élite cyber war entity in the IDF came below suspicion various weeks ago.  “Tens” of political appointee and non-commissioned public servant in Unit 8200 (IDF’s SIGINT unit) and AMAN’s Constituent 81 (army intelligence’s technology element) are accused of victimization their hacking expertness to derive “economic good” for themselves.  The clause notes that the hacking of the outlaw came at the expenses payment of their comrade soldiers in the Entity (see below).

Those investigated chalk up such flying security classifications that the IDF martial police needed to get especial permission to essay their computers.

Seeing of a security gag line, Ynet could not composition the identities of the circumstantial military constituent involved.  But a intimate and knowledgeable Asian source advise me that they are Item 8200 and 81.  Nor did the description explain what violation they’re designated to have dedicated.  Based on the vocable “economic cream” I assumed it tortuous conventional personal computer hacking into commercial-grade or financial spot like botanist or stores.

The signal hatavah kalkalit can and mean “bonus.”  My origin has heard a separate speculation enhanced along those interline: that those supercharged falsified their own department data to practise themselves suitable for raises or advancement.  Either offence would be exorbitantly serious.  But disproof personnel writes down is much extra serious internally to the IDF thanks to it violates blue regulations.  There is an ethical drug within the blue, false in spite of it may be, that Each is treated somewhat and equally.  For thither to be widespread deceit within one of the IDF’s nigh élite entity is scandalous bey belief.

Thither continues to be a funny notion that the IDF is eft.  That return are meted out according to expertise and ability.  That by oneself the best are rewarded.  Anyone recital this diary knows that the IDF is overabundant with depravity and dysfunction.  That not by oneself are many of its tactical decisions guess, but its day-to-day operations are riddled with favouritism, cronyism and ego-dealing.  A homeland that itself is venal should wait the same from its blue.

I’ve already according here the shrouded identity of Whole 8200’s officer.  He’s Brig. Gen. Ehud Schneerson, a upstage relative of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.  I can’t project the rebbe would be wholly happy conversant the “army of the Judaic people” was violating one of the Ten Commandments.

This clause was published at Tikun Olam.
