Iranian hacker group claims to have gained access to several classified government sites and databases containing classified information including personal details of police personnel, sex offender registries, weapons licenses as well as medical and psychological profiles of soldiers and other security personnel, Channel 12 news reports.
The report says several documents were published online.
Channel 12 adds that the hackers claim to have downloaded 2.1 terabytes of classified information from Israel Police databases, and are threatening to publish more documents online.
But after the report, the Israel Police responds that an initial investigation into the alleged hack shows there is “no indication that there had been a hack or a leak of sensitive information.”
“The Israel Police operates advanced security measures and is constantly working to strengthen its defense systems, using the world’s leading technologies in the field of cybersecurity,” police say.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
