The Handala hacking group has successfully breached the email account of Tamir Hayman, who previously led Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate and is now the director of the Institute for National Security Studies. This incident represents a significant escalation in the group's ongoing campaign against Israeli security entities.
More than 50,000 emails from Hayman's correspondence have reportedly been compromised and made public. The group conveyed a message to Hayman, warning that all of his confidential communications, including classified discussions and strategic plans, have been disclosed and are accessible globally.
This operation highlights the increasing capabilities of hacking collectives targeting governmental figures and sensitive information.
