Iran-linked ‘Handala’ hacktivists claim to leave bouquet in Israeli nuclear scientist’s vehicle
Iran-linked hacktivists claimed they broke into an Israeli nuclear scientist’s car and issued threats, earlier publishing what they said were names of Unit 8200 soldiers.
Hacktivists from the Iran-linked “Handala” claimed on Saturday that members of the group broke into the vehicle of an Israeli nuclear scientist, leaving behind a bouquet of flowers.
The group also published a threatening message along with the claim.
“By now, you have surely felt it, the subtle shift in the air around you. The moment when an ordinary day becomes… wrong,” the group threatened.
“Funds are moving. People are moving. Shadows are moving. All in directions you never anticipated,” the threat continued.
“Yesterday, you received our bouquet. A harmless object, at first glance. But you noticed the weight of it, didn’t you? You felt the presence behind it, the hands that carried it, the footsteps that faded just before you opened the door,” the group continued.
