The breach of Rina Matzliach's Telegram account raises concerns: cybersecurity expert Oshar Cohen warns that the real danger is using her identity to impersonate her and collect sensitive information from contacts, including former senior security officials.

The article deals with the breach of the Telegram account of former Channel 12 news anchor Rina Matzliach and the concerns it raises. Matzliach claimed that Iranian elements hacked her account, and according to reports, messages were sent in her name to contacts, including former senior security officials.
