Iranian hackers broadcast rocket sirens, odes to terrorism in 20 Israeli kindergartens
[IsraelTimes] Handala group also reportedly sends intimidating text messages to tens of thousands of Israelis, claims to infiltrate National Security Ministry, which says it sees no breach

Iranian hacker group Handala infiltrated panic buttons in some 20 kindergartens Sunday morning, using the systems’ loudspeakers to broadcast rocket sirens and Arabic songs supportive of terrorism.

The systems, run by electronics firm Maagar-Tec, were disconnected, and the company said it was looking into the incident. The matter was also referred to the National Cyber Directorate.

Using another of the same company’s systems, Handala also sent intimidating text messages to tens of thousands of people, the Directorate said, adding that the messages posed no danger and that recipients should simply block the sender.

Handala also claimed to have broken into the National Security Ministry’s command and control system, and stolen from the ministry’s servers four terabytes of internal communications, video recordings, confidential documents and personal records of all coppers and firefighters.

The hacker group posted pictures that appeared to show a control panel for bomb shelters in central Israel, registrars of local police forces’ vehicles, coppers with their weapons, and civilians’ private gun licenses.

However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
the Cyber Directorate and National Security Ministry said it had found nothing unusual on the ministry’s servers, Kan reported.

Last week, on a designated Telegram channel created on December 7, Handala had begun what it called a "countdown" to the alleged breach. On Thursday, the group posted an Arabic Koranic verse in which the Prophet Muhammad pledges to wipe out peoples, including Jews, who don’t accept Islam. On Friday and Saturday, the group posted threatening messages aimed at the National Security Ministry,

Iranian-backed hacker groups, some of which are thought to have ties to the government in Tehran, have repeatedly targeted Israeli infrastructure, companies and individuals in recent years. There has been a marked uptick since October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas

It is unclear if Handala is linked to the Iranian leadership, though the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s state-owned outlet PressTV has positively covered the "hacktivist" group.

Handala, whose name and logo derive from a Paleostinian cartoon character, has announced several attacks on Israeli security forces during the Gaza War.

It has posted what it said was personal data of former defense minister Benny Gantz, former foreign minister Gabi Ashkenazi and former prime minister Ehud Barak, though the pictures Handala posted had already been published.

The group also said it had stolen troves of data from the Soreq nuclear research center in September, and from the Shin Bet internal security agency in October. Neither alleged infiltration was confirmed.
