Good morning. Yesterday, the Guardian published the results of an eight-month investigation into a team of Israeli contractors who claim to have covertly influenced more than 30 elections around the world through hacking, sabotage and automated disinformation on social media.
The Disinfo black ops project, produced in partnership with journalists from 30 outlets including Haaretz, Le Monde and Der Spiegel, exposed the workings of “Team Jorge”, and, partly through undercover reporting, identified the former Israeli special forces operative who runs it, Tal Hanan. He denies any wrongdoing.
