It displays the results of sporting events.
After installing the application on the smartphone it launches and starts collecting information on the smartphone from his memory as well as camera and microphone. This information it passes to Hamas.
Such actions by the Israeli armed forces discovered in the last year. Then was introduced more stringent rules on the use of employees social networks. In addition, it opened a hot line for soldiers concerned about possible hacking attempts.
This year, Israel was forced to update its policy regarding the use of social networks by military personnel. For soldiers conducting training, helping them to identify attempts to collect sensitive information.
