There are no former intelligence agents from Unit 8200, they call you back every two years for "reserves" exercises, until you are at least 50 years old. Apple should do their due diligence.

Bro, NSO group and Apple rent the same office building in Israel. Whether you have Android or Apple, they're both NSA-pilled and Mossad-maxxed.

There are a bunch of units under the Israeli intelligence corps, each doing their own thing. They are not the units with the 007 spies, they are technological units with a very small minority of them in defensive/offensive cybersecurity. Looking at the profiles in that page it looks like all of them are just programmers/integrators or training other how to use the intelligence systems that are in 8200. not much spy shit. If it's on linkedin, it's not really secret.
