    After Azari’s sentencing, the climate activists were left wondering who ordered the hacking operation. Then the US indictment was unsealed in April, offering tantalizing new details. It alleged Forlit was “a leader of a sprawling cybercriminal enterprise” via Israel-based intelligence-gathering firms and that his actions involved co-conspirators in the US, UK, Israel and India. The indictment says the operation targeting climate activists was carried out on behalf of a client that is “one of the world’s largest oil and gas corporations, with headquarters in Irving, Texas”. (When the indictment was first filed in 2022, ExxonMobil was the only major global oil company with headquarters in Irving, Texas.)

    This is horrible.
