Report: Identities and addresses of thousands of Israeli gun owners leaked online

The identities and addresses of thousands of Israeli gun owners have been leaked online following a hack carried out by Iranians in February, Haaretz has reported.

The newspaper says the leak could threaten some 10,000 people who could be targeted by criminal elements seeking to obtain the weapons.

The report says over 100,000 files were stolen from various sources including the police, the National Security Ministry, and private security firms. Police have said their systems were not breached, and Haaretz said it was not clear where the files were taken from.
