Voyager Labs (incorporated as Voyager Analytics Inc. in reporting) is a social-media analytics and investigative software company founded in 2012 by Avi Korenblum. Ctech described Korenblum as "a 20-year veteran of Israeli intelligence organizations" and said the New York-headquartered firm develops AI technology for real-time insights into users' on-site activity.[1]
Meta lawsuit
In January 2023 The Guardian reported that Meta had sued Voyager, alleging the surveillance firm collected data on 600,000 users via fake accounts, after earlier Guardian reporting on police partnerships and the company's claims that it could predict crime.[2]
The Ctech profile cites Israeli intelligence organisations generally; it does not name Unit 8200 specifically.
