Handala is known for targeting Israeli interests. In the past, it has conducted cyberattacks on government and private sector websites.

An Iranian cyber group named Handala have breached Israel’s radar systems and sent hundreds of thousands of threatening text messages to Israeli citizens.

The group infiltrated the radar systems and dispatched 500,000 text messages to Israeli citizens. “You have only a few hours to fix the systems,” the message warned.

In the wake of escalating tensions over a potential Iranian attack, Handala publicized a statement on social networks, asserting they had penetrated Israel’s radar defenses. The announcement, shared via Telegram, was scant on details but emphasized its significant success, potentially undermining Israel’s national security. “You have only a few hours to repair the radar systems,” the attackers reiterated in their message.
