A front-page article in collaboration with ZAP Legal, featuring attorney Golan Aharon from the Aharon & Co. law firm, who specializes in family law and criminal law. Aharon warns that divorce disputes in the digital age have moved from the living room to the criminal arena. According to him, attempts to gain an advantage in a dispute can lead to crossing red lines: hacking into private accounts, using tracking software, obtaining information without authorization, using artificial intelligence to create fake evidence (recordings, photos), threatening to expose intimate materials, and taking over digital assets ('digital kidnapping') such as cloud accounts, crypto wallets, and business pages. Aharon warns that extortionate use of information moves the dispute from family law to the criminal world. The article offers practical steps for a digital separation: changing passwords, checking active connections (like WhatsApp Web), and avoiding attempts to 'become detectives' by installing tracking software or hidden cameras. The article is defined as marketing content in collaboration with ZAP Legal.
