IPSO Israel and BlackCore
2026-05-21
Apparently the canary.co is a Kommie outfit ("anti-Zionist").

Skimming over the data provided, it sounds like Israeli intelligence maintains a read only (intelligence gathering) program in France, a prudent activity. Just my two kopeks.

[ColonelCassad] A dissection of another Mossad IPS operation outside of Israel.

Details of BlackCore's activities and a shadowy Israeli influence operation are revealed. This is only the latest in a series of so-called "psy-ops" that have been exposed.

The IPS operation targeted the "France Insoumise" party, led by leftist presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The targets were the party's current mayoral candidates in Marseille and Toulouse, Sébastien Delogu and François Piquemal, who were branded "pro-Palestinian," "pro-Muslim," and "rapists" on social media.

Analysts conducted an extensive review of BlackCore's digital presence, including its website and other sites that appear to be part of a larger campaign. For example, the company's marketing website—a minisite in Hebrew and English—showcased BlackCore's flagship product: "political campaign management."

BlackCore's infrastructure is built on the use of 1,600 avatars and fake social media accounts to "infiltrate Facebook groups, manipulate trends, and skewer polls on TikTok and Instagram." The investigation failed to find a single legal entity named BlackCore registered in any country. Its website contained no information about its owners or management, nor did it list a physical address.
1,600 avatars/accounts ain't a lot.
The domain blackcore.online was registered with an Icelandic registrar, allowing the owners to remain anonymous. The address was acquired only last August by a company that presents itself as a long-established entity.

Researchers found connections to two Israeli businessmen. One, Guy Geyor, is a "tech entrepreneur and former contestant on the Israeli versions of the reality shows 'Survivor' and 'The Bachelor.'"

The other is lawyer Doron Afik. Both denied knowledge of BlackCore and denied "political activity in France." However, a connection to Israeli intelligence unit 8200 and Yigal Unna, the former head of Israel's National Cyber ​​Directorate, was revealed.

It can be assumed that Israeli intelligence agencies are also engaged in similar activities in Russia.
They wouldn't be worth their salt if they didn't
