Michael Kedar

Michael Kedar, known as 'the hacker from Ashkelon', gained notoriety for his involvement in cybercrimes, including making bomb threats to Jewish institutions in the United States. He was arrested in Norway in October 2024 while seeking asylum, following a U.S. arrest warrant stemming from his past criminal activities, for which he had already served time in Israel. Kedar's case has drawn attention due to the legal battle over his extradition and concerns for his safety, as he alleges threats against his life from U.S. authorities.
