The Iranian hacker group Handala has released private photos and sensitive information from devices they recently hacked, including the mobile phone of former Israeli Defence Minister – Benny Gantz. The data and photos, which are reportedly highly private, were posted on the Telegram platform, drawing public attention and controversy.
Messages posted by Handala on Telegram indicate that they possess a considerable number of incriminating photos and data, which they intend to continue publishing. This appears to be part of a broader attack targeting key Israeli institutions, including the Nuclear Research Centre, which hackers also reportedly attacked.
Handala, knows for its cyberattacks on Israeli targets, frequently uses such methods to create pressure and insecurity in the public, with threats to release sensitive information as a form of psychological warfare. This latest incident further escalates tensions in Israeli-Iranian relations, raising alarm within the Israeli government about potential further cyberattacks and the release of confidential data.
