8200 is an Israeli spy agency, whose alumni turn up in security companies almost as often as CIA alumni turns up in US newsrooms.


Thank you, didn't know about this rabbit hole.

The wikipedia page has a handy list of companies to avoid at all costs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_8200



Yea, good luck with that, especially when 8200 alumni are embedded deeply in the vast R&D sites all major US tech giants have in Israel (Apple alone employs thousands in Israel), whether by direct recruitment or by buying Israelis startups.
