Fact of the Day: Did you know 'ZoneAlarm' (the PC 'security' suite) is made and run from Israel?
ZoneAlarm, which is listed as "Number 1 Security Suite" in a Google search, is owned by 'Check Point Software Technologies Ltd', an Israeli based company in Tel Aviv. It recently spent $600 million to market their products to people (results from Google) -
- Marketing Spend: As of 2025, Check Point reported substantial investments in "Selling and Marketing" to drive its Infinity Platform and AI-driven security solutions.
- In previous fiscal years (e.g., 2022), the company's "Selling and Marketing" expenses were over $600 million. While this figure covers sales team salaries, events, and other marketing activities, search engine advertising is also a part of this budget.
"search engine advertising is also a part of this budget", so google is being paid to recommend this software to you as "number 1" despite it's many controversies over the years from illegal data collection to scare tactic campaigns.
Check Point Software bought the rights to ZoneAlarm on March 29th 2004, from the Wiki;
- "As of January 2006, ZoneAlarm was reportedly sending data to the company's servers in a covert fashion. A developer dismissed allegations that ZoneAlarm was spying on its clients, saying that it was an issue related to software updates and that it would be fixed."
- "On September 2, 2010, the free version of ZoneAlarm started showing a 'Global Virus Alert' popup as a scareware tactic to get users to switch to their paid security suite. The popup was turned off by ZoneAlarm marketing team after an uproar from disgruntled users, many of whom uninstalled the software."

So the question remains: Are you really ok with having Israel access your data and monitor your activity on and offline if you currently have it installed?
TinyWall is a far better firewall option which is opensource, low system resource usage, no data collection and no telemetry, and because it's open source you can even download and read through the code if you really want to. 👍

#Palantir: Why is the #Israel-linked #surveillance firm embedded in #Britain's #NHS?
Medical professionals, #lawyers and #activists express concern over the #Techgiant's government contracts given ties to #USImmigration and #IsraeliSurveillance operations

"The #UKGovernment is facing growing pressure over its decision to award large government contracts to #PalantirTechnologies, a US-based data and #ArtificialIntelligence [#AI] company.
"Partially funded by the #CIA at its inception, the company has faced heavy scrutiny after receiving a £330m ($413m) contract with #NHSEngland in 2023, which is up for renewal in 2027.
"It was also recently awarded a £240m deal with the British #MinistryOfDefence (#MoD) in December, three times more than a previous contract signed in 2022.
"Palantir entered into a strategic partnership with the MoD in September, in which it pledged a £1.5bn investment to 'boost military AI' and to 'work together to transform lethality in the battlefield', according to a government press release.
"Aspects of the deal included developing a so-called '#KillChain', which uses advanced data management and #AI to better strike 'enemy target[s]'.
"This increased integration of the tech firm within the UK’s health service and armed forces has raised alarm among campaigners, who point to the company’s involvement in the #genocide in #Gaza and US President Donald Trump’s lethal campaign against unauthorised immigration.
"British MPs have also raised concerns about Palantir’s defence contracts following an investigation that revealed the #SwissArmy had rejected the company over fears that US intelligence agencies would gain access to sensitive data."
