Yehuda Ben-Hanan was the owner of Software and Engineering Consultants, a small computer company based in Chatsworth, California. He was a childhood friend of Ari Ben-Menashe.

Rafi Eitan selected Ben-Hanan to develop a "trap door" for the PROMIS software, which would allow external access to the computers of intelligence agencies using the program. Ben-Hanan was given blueprints and set about his work for a $5,000 fee, unaware of the true purpose of the project.1
