though they may just want to preserve the basic functionality of the overall operation, Mossad Kompromat.
Kompromat, variously translated as "compromising material", "discrediting material", or "incriminating material"), is damaging information about a person or a group, commonly a politician, businessperson, or other public figure, which may be used to
create negative publicity, as well as for
blackmail purposes, often to exert influence rather than monetary gain, and
extortion. Kompromat may be acquired from various
security services, or outright forged, and then publicized, e.g., via a
public relations official.
