How Wikipedia rewrote the Amnon Jackont article

The opening as it read in 2005

Amnon Jackont is an Israeli author of detective fiction . He lives in Tel Aviv with his wife, Varda Raziel-Jackont, a radio talk-show host. In 2005 , Jackont helped expose an industrial espionage ring involving executives at several major Israeli corporations. During the previous year, he had noticed excerpts from an unpublished manuscript appearing in internet forums , followed by a series of harsh reviews once the book was actually published. He also determined that his email was being read and manipulated by someone else. When a computer technician found that the problem was a Trojan horse program on his computer, Jackont reported the matter to police. The person responsible was eventually identified as Michael Haephrati, the ex-husband of Varda's daughter from a previous marriage, who had apparently written the Trojan horse. The same program was identified as having been used by three private detective agencies to collect information from the espionage victims on behalf of their competitors.¹
