The slashdot web server listens on port 80, that's a huge security risk!
Run home and wrap tin foil on your heads everyone!

These guys were hacked, meaning they have proved themselves as inadequate for shadowy IDF units.

But I'm going to buy the 7 while I wait.

Very long time ago, I gave one of my C++ developers a simple task in ASP (before the .net era).
He came back to me and argued he doesn't know anything about ASP, jscript or vbscript.
To this I replied by smacking him in the head and telling him that a C++ developer can do this stuff with his eyes blindfolded.
Sure enough, an hour later the ASP task was successfully completed.

Exactly what I did.
I'm writing iOS apps for several clients.
Turns out good developers are hard to come by.
I never had to look for clients after my first app got published, and now I work from home, have loads of time with the kids and still have time to work on my own projects.
After 3 years doing that - I happily turn down several job offers every month.

I really don't know this company or this guy, but I can assume he is on army reserve service, just like so many others after retiring from the army, meaning that he still retains his ranks and is called for service from time to time.
I do the same, about once a year (in a combat unit, and for you trolls - I'm also a political anti occupation activist, and yes, the two roles don't collide).
If you seriously believe the IDF is involved with Viber, I advise you to roll a good deal of aluminium foil around your head and never use any electronic device again.

Where do I begin..?

a. Let's do this Nayman guy a favour and leave him out of this - you seem to like google - I'm not hiding, you can find me.
I'm not posting as an anonymous user you know.
BTW - Partner is a cellular operator, not a VoIP company (you can google this up).
b. Company in Cyprus -
Intel has a large facility in Israel, thanks to overwhelming tax benefits they got. I'm sure you can make the connection.
c. If I had a nickel for every company that seems to be out there picking eye balls with no real money making solution...
Like so many others, they believe that if they know everyone's address books, they are going to be rich.
Not defending them, I'm not even using their services for that reason, but being an Israeli company has nothing to do with that - you can find companies from all over the world with the same not so smart agenda.
d. This guy clumsily tried to hide the fact the company is Israeli:
I didn't know it's a secret, everyone knows it's an Israeli company.
Can you blame him though? reading your post reveals exactly why:
Being an Israeli is bad for business, you can always find people like you that will not want to do business with Israelis.
You can wrap it in any colour you'd like - the true reason for your post is not tech related, and your google espionage lead you to the conclusion you had before you even started looking into it.

Get an iPhone - so many Android apps require too many permissions.
I don't defend viber - they are just as bad as the rest of them but unlike in iPhone - you need to either accept everything or else you can't use the app.
On an iPhone - you simply allow or disallow specific permissions and the developers need to cope with it.

Since the army service in Israel is mandatory, this ridiculous claim is that every Israeli company is working for the army.
Coming from another leading Israeli VoIP company myself - I can state that the only security forces ever approaching us were American - with their CALEA program.
We refused to cooperate.

Real men use their mustaches and hairy chests to punch their keyboards
