The National Cyber Directorate says it is investigating multiple reports from Israelis who have received calls with recorded Hebrew messages trying to recruit, threaten and intimidate them.
According to Ynet, one of the recordings claims to be Iranian intelligence, looking to recruit agents.
“Iranian intelligence is looking for official agents — competitive salary, comprehensive security. Find us on Telegram and the internet,” one of the recordings says, as quoted by Ynet.
The directorate warns people not to answer calls from numbers 03-6817 and 03-3067, and if you do so, disconnect immediately.
“The National Cyber Directorate emphasizes this is solely an intimidation attempt that does not damage phones,” a statement by the directorate says.
