The Boys from Tel Aviv David Hume

They were trawlers and harvesters but were neither fishermen nor farmers; their objective was data, sensitive information that could be used by their clients to maim, discredit and destroy their business and political enemies. CYBUS appeared to be just another group of retired spies and intelligence analysts cashing in on their careers. These were the stealthy, dark side daedals who supplied demagogues and dictators with dirt on the opposition. Their core business was fueled by political passions, prejudices and fear, and their connections with the social media giants provided unlimited access to the personal data of billions of unwary users. CYBUS became the go-to investigative group for the rich and privileged; for hustlers and harlots. But in the new information age, fame was fragile; loyalty and honor were rare commodities and cash-flow took precedence over consequences.
