Recent cyberattacks attributed to Iranian hackers have targeted Israeli officials and facilities, resulting in significant data breaches. Reports indicate that over 50 gigabytes of data, including personal details of scientists and military officials, were stolen from an Israeli nuclear facility. The Iranian Handala hacking group has claimed responsibility for leaking private photographs from the devices of senior Israeli politicians, military officials, and nuclear scientists. Additionally, it was reported that the hackers accessed 1.9 terabytes of data from the phone of Benny Gantz, a former Israeli defense minister. The attacks have raised concerns about cybersecurity in Israel, particularly as hackers are also targeting payment systems, disrupting card readers across stores and gas stations. The Iranian cyber efforts appear to be part of a broader strategy that includes using fake job offers to deploy malware against U.S. allies, further complicating the cybersecurity landscape in the region.
