Web Security Not In Mossad Training?

Posted by: St.Ego on September 08, 2008 4:20:00 PM (1393 Reads)

After browsing around for information about the Mossad, I discovered that they have their own website:

Mossad.Gov.IT

Clicking the link to Contact them (as well as the link to Careers) goes to HTTPS and yields an invalid security certificate. Technically, I could add an exception for it and take a look, but I have a few reservations about making security exceptions for the Mossad, regardless of how off-radar I may be. Not really that big of a deal, but I'll let you check it out for me...

On further review, the Mossad site also provides a convenient list of current and former directors. They may not look very intimidating, but try to picture each of them asking you questions while an overzealous katsa ensures your attention and cooperation. Meir Amit even looks a bit like Bela Lugosi.

With this simple list of directors, it would be an interesting exercise to start mapping 6-degrees connections between them as a way to track the flow of Israeli intelligence.

Having all of this in mind, I am considering the possibility of starting my own intelligence agency. It would be privately run, however, and used primarily between corporations, where it could become a key asset in determining global policy.

I think that moving intelligence networks out of government and into the commercial sector is something that we are already seeing today, anyway.

The real test will be who they choose to represent the corporate world as a James Bond capacity?

At least a corporate intellgence agency would install it's security certificate correctly, right?

Now, I wonder if the Mossad is looking for a web developer...

Do you think that they would be interested in having a covert social networking site?

I gotta read less fiction; sources in Tel Aviv have indicated that it is actually a national pastime to lampoon the Mossad.
