I turned the Dialog leak into a searchable conflict of interest database

- The "Dialog leak" refers to a massive data breach from an Israeli surveillance company called Dialog (or a related entity). A hacker or activist group obtained and publicly released internal documents, emails, and financial records. - This database (build-a-cult.com) lets users search those leaked records for conflicts of interest — e.g., politicians, journalists, or academics who may have secretly consulted for, invested in, or promoted surveillance tech firms without disclosing it. - The project turns raw leaks into an investigative tool, making it easy to see who is connected to the spyware industry, who profited from it, and who publicly advocated for it while hiding ties. - This matters because spyware (like NSO Group's Pegasus) has been used to target journalists, human rights defenders, and political opponents. A searchable conflict-of-interest database exposes the human network that enables these tools to operate with impunity.
