They are at the core of all evil in this world. BlackCore. Huh. Bet they named it that because they know.

A company with a name like that would never meddle with democratic votes in other countries, that's a preposterous suspicion.

I believe meddled with Slovenian (EU) votes as well. They're everywhere

Funnily enough, BlackCube was involved in Slovenia. And now the far right government and Israel are besties.

BlackCore described itself as an influence and cyber firm but has not responded to requests for comment

Not that it makes it better, but they're far from the only one playing this game. Meddling in elections is something that is simply to be assumed these days.

Election interference only matters sometimes, I guess.
