There is currently an insane spy thriller running in #Hungary ICYMI:

A 90min interview with the whistleblower was released too that reveals even more pieces of the puzzle. The whole thing screams for a movie (and long prison sentences).
Inside the covert operation to bring down the party threatening Viktor Orbán’s rule - Direkt36

According to documents obtained by Direkt36, a secret operation was carried out to bring down the IT systems of the Hungarian opposition party Tisza. IT specialists affiliated with the party planned to expose this, but then police officers, pressured by the Hungarian secret services, raided them, apparently on trumped-up charges.

Direkt36 - Direkt36 is a non-profit investigative journalism center with the mission to hold powerful people and institutions accountable.

@buherator I started reading it and... it really reads like a spies thriller. I will read it more carefully later, looks rather interesting.

@buherator I grew up listening to my father always answering the phone with saying "KGB", and around holidays saying good wishes to whoever was listening.

At the end of high-school I saw the two-way PA system in the dormitory basement which could be used for spying on the students.

I was still not prepared for this.
