Hackers broke into a phone belonging to the wife of Mossad chief David Barnea, in order to obtain personal information that was published yesterday, Channel 12 news and the Haaretz daily report.
The reports are not sourced, and the television network initially claimed Barnea’s laptop was hacked.
A video published by the hackers on Telegram shows several personal photos, flight tickets under Barnea’s name, his ID card, tax documents addressed to his wife, and satellite imagery of what it claimed to be his home in the central city of Hod Hasharon.
The Prime Minister’s Office stated yesterday on behalf of Mossad that Barnea’s phone was not hacked and the “materials in question are old,” without elaborating further.
