PRO-IRAN Handala group breached Israeli defence contractor PSK Wind Technologies, an Israeli engineering and IT firm specialising in integrated systems for defence and critical communications. According to Security Affairs, Handala announced on 2 April that it had stolen data from PSK Wind, including documents on command and control systems, and allegedly sent them to an Axis of Resistance missile units.
The group released confidential files showing top secret communications systems, internal documents, and location photographs, while neither PSK Wind nor the Israeli military had commented at the time. The breach is described as part of an ongoing wave of cyber attacks on Israeli military infrastructure since 28 February, coinciding with Iranian missile and drone strikes and broader tensions in the region.
Handala is portrayed as a pro-Palestinian hacktivist group that is widely seen as a front for Iran-backed Void Manticore, and the FBI is offering up to $10 million for information on the Handala hackers.
