A pop-up window for the feature notes that X is partnering with Israel-based verification company AU10TIX to facilitate the new authorization feature.

So if AU10TIX ends up getting hacked, like MoveIt, someone would be able to dox every neonazi a single go.

When I think of Israel based Software Corps I think of NSO Group. And I don't like NSO Group. Am I unrightfully biased?

They a subsidiary of a (sort of) Dutch firm ICTS. Their Wikipedia page is interesting:
