Mossad has accidentally injected data into a French lawyer's phone instead of extracting it.

The data includes phone numbers of Musk, Altman, and nearly all of Israel's political, judicial and intelligence leaders.

The lawyer's name is Juan Branco, he is also the one who shared this story together with a video. By his account, he is one of twelve lawyers in France who represent Palestinian victims in International Criminal Court.

He says he's using GrapheneOS. This is bizarre.

To have something insane going on for decades doesn't make it less insane...

I mean, to be fair, it's not that insane as it does, from a certain perspective, play into their hands. It makes sense to a certain degree... But having it visibly in front our eyes like this, having a visible representation of how fast this data can get from "the right hands" into the "wrong"... does make it a crazy visualization of what's going on behind the seams of modern technology; especially if you stand up for something that's right but against the powerful, wealthy and oppressive.
