The Bulgarian company's website (I think), , is a plain Wordpress site with boilerplate text. It's hosted by FastComet in Frankfurt(?). The domain was registered on 2022-04-11. The page is also available on the Wayback Machine.

The contact page on has a link to a Facebook page: .
I guess NortaLink was a previous shell company, also owned by Rinson Jose (see email address). The posts are also just filler material and range from Feb. 2017 to Oct 2021. globalnorta.com

is down. But a snapshot from 2021 is on the Wayback Machine:
Claims to be an outsourcing consultancy. But also has web design/marketing boilerplate. Oversight?
Another Norwegian phone number: +47 94711902. Nortalink.com

Facebook links to Linkedin (rather empty):


NortaLink's Rinson Jose is also on LinkedIn. (Not directly linking on purpose. Be careful not to dox potentially innocent people)linkedin.com/company/nortal…
Oh. Nortalink's LinkedIn page links to :

Software consultancy by Jose and another person (legit?). Lists 3 software products (no links, screenshots, google hits) that are also mentioned on page of co-owner: norta.no

It seems obvious that Norta Global / Global Norta / NortaLink / Norta never had any experience manufacturing hardware. My guess: the pagers were assembled in Israel and never left the region. Why risk detection by European customs?
So, if NortaLink has been a Mossad front - to whom did they try to sell recruitment/outsourcing services in 2021?
Bulgaria says: no pagers were exported.
However, about 1.6 million € were transferred to Hungary (B.A.C. Consulting?).
Around 5000 pagers were bought. I don't think Hezbollah paid 300 € per pager. Also ICOM replacement batteries?

Oh, someone scrubbed all content from the Global Norta / Norta Global website just now. What a coincidence.
Luckily, the Internet Archive still has a copy. globalnorta.com

Attending an academic conference soon?
Going by reports and polls on Twitter, you probably have a 10-20% chance of getting #COVID19 there.
Here's a small thread with some evidence and some suggestions. 1/
2/ ACM #SIGGRAPH, a major conference and trade fair with up to 20,000 attendees, will take place in Vancouver next month, right in time for the peak of a COVID wave.
That means that probably 2000 people will return home infected with COVID.
3/ Of these 2000 people with COVID, a few hundred people will be knocked out for a few days or weeks.
About 1% might suffer from *debilitating* #LongCOVID effects - i.e. 20 attendees will suffer from a major illness for weeks or months or more.

Zwei Wochen sind seither vergangen.
Einen echten Shutdown gab es nicht.
Inzidenz klar steigend, obwohl wir einen Rückgang brauchen würden.
1/7
2/ Die u.a. von @ViolaPriesemann geforderte Inzidenz von <50 erreichen wir laut covid-simulator.com/simulator/ nur dann, wenn wir sofort gut drei Wochen strikten(!) Shutdown (Rt=0.5) durchziehen.
3/ Wenn wir schon vor zwei Wochen einen echten Shutdown vollzogen hätten, hätten statt der drei Wochen auch nur zwei Wochen ausgereicht.

@carlagriggio @sigchi This is strange in multiple ways. It seems quite obvious that the fake title in the PDF metadata originated from ACM Word templates. However, the template at acm.org/publications/a… uses yet another title: "Magnetic Normal Modes of Bi-Component Permalloy Structures"
@carlagriggio @sigchi If you search for this term, you get another group of papers with wrong metadata: google.com/search?q="Magnetic+Normal+Modes+of+Bi-Component+Permalloy+Structures"
@carlagriggio @sigchi This title is a little bit closer to the title of the original paper where author names and content have been lifted from apparently: "Magnetic normal modes of bicomponent permalloy/cobalt structures in the parallel and antiparallel ground state" journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1…

@macinally68 @HBraun Es ist klar, dass da keine Hau-Ruck-Lösung möglich ist. Aber mittelfristig (10-30 Jahre) wollen wir doch ein Land, in dem Pendeln die Ausnahme ist. Wegen des CO2-Ausstoßes, aber auch wegen der Pendler, der Familien und der lokalen Gemeinschaften, die zur Ader gelassen werden. 1/n
@macinally68 @HBraun Ich pendle selbst täglich 20 km (einfach) mit dem ÖPNV (da habe ich Glück mit der Verbindung) und war jahrelang Fernpendler (150 km). Ich kenne keinen Fernpendler, dem das Spaß macht. Und die wenigsten haben die Möglichkeit, während der Fahrt sinnvoll zu arbeiten. 2/n
@macinally68 @HBraun In den letzten 30 Jahren habe ich miterlebt, welchen negativen Einfluss das Pendeln - ob nah oder fern - auf dörfliche Gemeinschaften, lokale Geschäfte und Engagement in Vereinen hat. 3/n
