Israeli Firm BlackCore Suspected of Selling Electoral Interference Across Multiple Democracies

French authorities suspect Israeli political consultancy BlackCore of orchestrating smear campaigns against hard-left candidates in French municipal elections using fabricated websites and inauthentic social accounts. The firm has faced similar suspicions in New York City and Scotland, suggesting a commercial service model rather than ideologically-driven targeting. Attribution rests on infrastructure forensics; no charges have been filed. The pattern illustrates how electoral interference has industrialized into a reproducible, geography-agnostic capability.
