The suspect, in his 50s, is believed to have worked as a "contractor" for private investigative firms, accessing information from various government and commercial entities, including banks, to gather sensitive personal data.

The investigation began after multiple complaints from citizens who noticed unauthorized changes in their personal details on various websites.

As the investigation progressed, it became clear that the suspect frequently accessed databases to retrieve victims' financial, medical, and family information, allegedly receiving payments for this data from those who requested it.

Israel Police reported that an undercover operation revealed the suspect often contacted customer service hotlines, impersonating individuals to convince representatives to change victims’ email addresses or phone numbers.

During a search of the suspect's office, authorities seized computers, phones, numerous SIM cards, and recordings of calls made while he impersonated others. All evidence collected has been forwarded to the Cyber Division of the State Prosecutor's Office for further review.
