How Israel hacked Iran’s traffic cameras to pinpoint Khamenei

Israel is said to have hacked into Iran’s traffic camera networks to spy on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iranian officials for years before his assassination on Saturday and the US-Israel air strikes, as part of an operation that involved cyber intrusion, human intelligence, and advanced data analytics.

Nearly all the traffic cameras in Tehran had been hacked for years, their images encrypted and transmitted to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel, two unnamed sources told The Financial Times on Monday.
