ANKARA: The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has reportedly has stepped up its attempts to sabotage the upcoming elections in Turkiye, which are slated for March 31.
According to reports, Mossad has set up special teams to create a provocation ground, working through extensions like Canduru, Black Cube, and the NSO Group.
These technology and information companies, headquartered in Israel and functioning under intelligence supervision, are reportedly gathering extensive data through various social media and messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, and Instagram.
IT expert Adem Taskaya has warned of Mossad’s alleged infrastructure to manipulate the elections, urging all institutions and organizations to remain vigilant.
Taskaya has voiced concerns over Mossad’s objectives, suggesting that Israel aims to instigate unrest akin to past events like the Gezi Park protests in order to plunge Turkiye into political, economic, and social anarchy.
According to Taskaya, companies affiliated with Mossad are actively involved in activities aimed at influencing the March 31 elections. He has cautioned that vigilance is crucial on election night and beyond, emphasizing the importance of not falling into chaos or terrorism scenarios allegedly orchestrated by Mossad.
Taskaya also highlighted the National Intelligence Organization of Turkiye’s (MIT) efforts to monitor potential threats, particularly through cell structures and illegitimate companies within the country. He noted that these Israeli software and technology companies receive cooperation from various social media platforms and internet providers, potentially compromising data security and privacy.
The pervasive nature of these platforms, Taskaya pointed out, poses significant risks as they not only facilitate communication but also enable states to gather information on individuals’ identities and opinions. He underscored Israel’s prominence in this field, citing substantial budget allocations for data collection and analysis.
Moreover, Mossad is purportedly advancing GSM technologies alongside traditional methods, enhancing capabilities for internet-based surveillance. In an era where AI-generated content can be easily manipulated and social media platforms remain difficult to regulate, countering misinformation becomes increasingly challenging for any entity.
