The attacks follow continued US escalation and violations of the truce, including a blockade on Iranian ports and an attempt to break Tehran’s hold on the Strait of Hormuz
Iranian hacker group Handala announced in a statement late on 4 May that it launched a massive cyberattack on the UAE port of Fujairah in coordination with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) missile strikes on the site.
“The strategic port of Fujairah in the UAE was hit by a sophisticated cyber operation and completely hacked. Now, thousands of classified documents – including contract details, ship traffic, financial transactions, and highly confidential maps of Fujairah’s oil pipelines and infrastructure, are available for public download on the Handala website,” the Iranian hacker group said on Monday evening.
“These precise maps of oil lines and critical installations were delivered directly to the missile units of the Resistance Axis, leading to the accurate and pinpoint targeting of key objectives in the port … Just minutes after this breach, IRGC missile units, in full coordination with Handala, targeted the Port of Fujairah with precise missile strikes,” the statement added.
“The message is clear: no covert or overt collaboration between the UAE, the Zionist regime, and the US escapes our attention, and every act of betrayal will be answered,” Handala stressed, adding that “over 430,000 confidential documents have been dumped from the port’s servers and are now in Handala’s possession, with our cyberattacks still ongoing.”
“UAE, this is your final warning: If you continue your betrayal and malicious acts against the Axis of Resistance, be prepared for even harsher cyber, intelligence, and military blows. Your collaboration with Israel and the US will not save you from your inevitable fate.”
Handala also said that day that it leaked the names of 400 senior US Navy officers currently deployed in the Persian Gulf.
Shortly before the group's announcement on the hacking operation, missile and drone attacks targeted the UAE, causing a fire in the Fujairah oil zone. One strike targeted a vessel belonging to the Emirati state oil firm ADNOC. (more...)
