Co-founder & Chairman, Toka · former Prime Minister of Israel
Former prime minister and defense minister of Israel who, after leaving office, co-founded the government-hacking firm Toka and the spyware maker Paragon, and chaired the 911 firm Carbyne. He has been tied to other surveillance ventures and to Jeffrey Epstein.
Reporting revealed Toka markets government tools to break into security cameras and IoT devices, with capabilities that in some accounts extend to altering footage — a direct threat to evidence integrity and privacy.
Citizen Lab documented Paragon's Graphite zero-click spyware infecting the phones of journalists and civil-society targets — the same mercenary-spyware abuse Paragon marketed itself as being above.
Reporting documented that Ehud Barak chaired Carbyne (formerly Reporty) and that Jeffrey Epstein-linked funds helped finance his stake — placing a surveillance-adjacent 911 company inside the Epstein network.
