The Media Line Staff 03/02/2021 Israeli technology and hardware were used to help Myanmar’s military to stage a governmental coup last month, according to the New York Times. “The generals, who staged a coup a month ago, are now back in charge with a far more sophisticated arsenal at their disposal: Israeli-made surveillance drones, European iPhone cracking devices and American software that can hack into computers and vacuum up their contents,” the Times reported Monday. Some of these technologies, referred to as “dual-use,” can be used for legitimate law enforcement, as well as repression, according to the newspaper. Among the Israeli products identified by the Times is MacQuisition forensic software, designed to extract and collect data from Apple computers. The software is made by BlackBag Technologies, an American company that was bought last year by Israel’s Cellebrite. The company said it stopped selling to Myanmar in 2018.
