Obama Account HACKED by Iran; Floods Soleimani Images; DROPS Chilling Message For Trump

 

Did Iran-linked hackers just pull off a major online embarrassment for the United States? The archived Obama White House Instagram account was briefly compromised, with unauthorized posts featuring Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, pro-Iran messaging, and provocative content that quickly spread across social media.

The account, inactive since the Obama administration, still has millions of followers and became the center of a viral cyber incident. Reports suggest hackers may have exploited weaknesses in Instagram's AI-powered support system to gain access before Meta restored control and removed the content.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, raising fresh concerns about cyber warfare, online propaganda, and the security of high-profile social media accounts.

Iran Handala Hackers EXPOSE 69 Israeli Navy Officers, Announce $100K BOUNTY After Gaza Flotilla Raid

 

An Iran-linked hacking group known as Handala has claimed responsibility for leaking the identities and personal details of 69 Israeli Navy officers online, accusing them of participating in the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla near Cyprus. The group escalated tensions further by announcing a $100,000 bounty for each officer named in the leak. The flotilla, carrying activists and humanitarian aid for Gaza, was intercepted by Israeli forces in May 2026, sparking international controversy and allegations of abuse during detention. Israel denied the accusations, while Handala issued direct threats toward Israeli officials including Itamar Ben-Gvir amid rapidly escalating cyber and regional tensions.

US tech firm Cisco has deep ties with Israeli military, leaked documents show

 

Leaked documents have revealed the US tech firm Cisco Systems’ deep relationship with the Israeli regime in its continuous wars in West Asia, which the United States backs.

The papers leaked by Drop Site News on Friday reveal that Cisco has a deep illegal relationship with the Israeli regime and supported Tel Aviv forces in their atrocities against the people of Palestine, and beyond.

The Silicon Valley-based company, which produces hardware, software, telecommunications equipment, and other high-technology services used in networking, cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, provided support and infrastructure to Israel in its genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and also ran unlawful operations in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The leaked papers provided to Drop Site by whistleblowers show Cisco’s deep and growing collaboration with the Israeli military and intelligence communities for its genocide in Gaza and continued regional wars.

The San Jose-based networking giant, with a market capitalization in excess of $270 billion and annual revenue of $56.7 billion in 2025, manufactures the routers, switches, firewalls, and communications platforms that run the internet’s infrastructure, as well as many of its worldwide corporate, government, and military networks.  (more...)

Hackers have breached tank readers at US gas stations; officials suspect Iran is responsible

 

U.S. officials suspect Iranian hackers are behind a series of breaches of systems that monitor the amount of fuel in storage tanks serving gas stations in multiple states, according to multiple sources briefed on the activity.

CNN was the first to report the suspected hackings and Iran's possible involvement.

The hackers responsible have exploited automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems that were sitting online and unprotected by passwords, allowing them in some cases to tinker with display readings on the tanks but not the actual levels of fuel in them, the sources said.

The cyber intrusions are not known to have caused physical damage or harm, but the breaches have raised safety concerns because gaining access to an ATG could, in theory, allow a hacker to make a gas leak go undetected, according to private experts and U.S. officials.

The sources briefed on the investigation said Iran’s history of targeting the gas tank systems is one reason the country is a top suspect. But, the sources cautioned, the U.S. government may not be able to definitively determine who was responsible because of a lack of forensic evidence left by the hackers.

CNN has requested comment on the ATG hack from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The FBI declined to comment.  (more...)

Handala announces hack of figure tied to Israeli normalization accords

 

The Handala hacker group said it breached communications linked to a figure involved in the Israeli normalization accords and Netanyahu’s reported UAE visit.

The Handala hacker group announced it had breached communications belonging to a figure it described as a central architect of the Israeli normalization accords and an organizer of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reported March visit to the United Arab Emirates.

In a statement released Thursday alongside published images and documents, the group identified the individual as Samuel Shay, noting that he played a key role in behind-the-scenes coordination between the Israeli government and Gulf states.

Handala described Shay as the “mastermind behind Netanyahu’s UAE visit” and stated that it had exposed what it characterized as a covert regional political, economic, and “security” network.

The group asserted that Shay acted as a facilitator of relations between Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi through business and strategic initiatives involving Gulf states and "Israel".  (more...)

Leaked Documents Show Cisco Systems’ Deep Relationship with Israeli Security State

 

“Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste”: Internal documents show Cisco’s growing collaboration with the Israeli military over the course of the genocide in Gaza.

Cisco Systems is one of the most consequential—yet least visible—corporations in Silicon Valley. The San Jose-based networking giant, with a market capitalization in excess of $270 billion and annual revenue of $56.7 billion in 2025, manufactures the routers, switches, firewalls, and communications platforms that run the internet’s infrastructure, as well as many of its worldwide corporate, government, and military networks.

Cisco makes a point of publicly highlighting its commitment to corporate social responsibility, and building “an inclusive future for all” in the dozens of countries around the world in which it operates. Yet the company’s aggressive pursuit of contracts with the Israeli government and military—a small yet growing part of its global business—has led to accusations that behind this sunny facade the networking giant is profiting from genocide.

A new set of leaked documents—provided to Drop Site by whistleblowers disturbed by the company’s operations in Israel—shows Cisco’s deep and growing collaboration with the Israeli military and intelligence establishment in its regional wars and the genocide in Gaza.

In 2025, an Israeli Air Force officer publicly discussed using Cisco-powered infrastructure to support operations. The anonymous officer, identified as the head of the Israeli Air Force’s operational branch, told a tech conference in Israel that the Air Force had conducted “tens of thousands of attacks” in the past year, and described how IT systems had been vital to enabling this combat activity. The officer referenced Cisco infrastructure being used by air force intelligence personnel for communications and managing high volumes of operational data—including the use of networking tools by drone operators and ground forces to store and analyze videos and share coordinates for strikes.

Cisco’s work with the Israeli government and military has been documented in public news reports and new business announcements in the country. But the internal documents—including presentations, purchase and revenue records, and schedules—shed light on the rapidly expanding list of services that Cisco has been providing directly to the Israeli Ministry of Defense and other branches of the security state over the past several years.  (more...)

Handala’s digital storm topples US-Israeli cyber supremacy

 

For decades, the U.S. and Israel have sold the image of their cyber defenses as an absolute fortress, a multi-billion-dollar architecture designed to ensure that while American and Israeli forces struck the region, they themselves would remain untouchable behind layers of code.

That illusion has evaporated. At the center stands Handala, a hacking collective named for Naji al-Ali’s iconic refugee child who turns his back on an unjust world. Today, that child is fighting.

Since the commencement of the recent U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, Handala has evolved into a strategic front of the Axis of Resistance, proving that empires built on technological hubris are far more fragile than their marketing suggests.

When American-made munitions turned an Iranian elementary school in Minab into a graveyard, killing 120 children and dozens of school staff in a single afternoon, the Resistance’s retaliation extended far beyond the front lines. They ensured the cost was also extracted in the West’s most precious currencies: digital sovereignty and military intelligence.

A few days after the massacre, Handala delivered a masterclass in asymmetric retaliation. Targeting the Stryker Corporation, a technology giant deeply entwined with the Pentagon, the group bypassed traditional malware.

They also hijacked Microsoft Intune administrative credentials to remotely wipe 200,000 devices across 79 countries.

Factories stalled, logistics networks evaporated, and a $25 billion pillar of the military-industrial complex ground to a halt. The message across the dark screens of Stryker’s global offices was clear: “Betrayal of the oppressed yields only disgrace.”  (more...)

Handala hacktivists reveal how they penetrated Israeli 'think tank' classified data

 

Handala, the pro-resistance hacker group, has laid out, in rare detail, how it conducted a multi-year breach of the network security of Israel’s so-called Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), gaining long-term access to its classified information.

In a statement released Tuesday, the group said it had, for years, maintained full access to the notorious think tank’s restricted files.

According to Handala, the most significant breakthrough occurred on April 22, 2025, when “the doors of INSS became wide open,” and two hooded operatives walked into floor -2, the level where the institute stores its most sensitive material.

“This was not a one-time operation, but the result of years of planning which gave access to the most vital information in INSS,” the group stated.

“Does this prove Handala’s multi-year penetration of your security? Are your so-called secret meetings really secret? How do you justify and cover up our access to the movements of high-ranking Mossad and Shin Bet authorities?” Handala said.

A key revelation in Handala’s announcement concerns how the group recorded the institute’s closed-door meetings. For years, INSS reportedly held its top-secret sessions over Zoom, a platform the group claims it infiltrated with ease.

“We advise you to change your CCTV cameras to the same brand that Shin Bet uses,” Handala mocked.  (more...)

Iran Hackers EXPOSED 400 U.S. Navy officers' identity in Massive Cyber Leak

Tensions in the Middle East are taking a dangerous new turn as the Iran-linked hacker group Handala claims to have leaked sensitive data of 400 officers from the United States Navy deployed in the Persian Gulf.

In what they call “Operation Premature Death,” the group alleges it accessed and published names, ranks, and operational details of U.S. naval personnel—while also sending chilling warnings directly to officers that “the sea is no longer safe.”

But that’s not all.

The hackers also claim to have:

• Breached systems linked to the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates
• Extracted over 430,000 classified documents tied to shipping and infrastructure
• Leaked 150,000 emails belonging to former U.S. diplomat Robert Malley, a key figure in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

Cyber attack hit UAE's Fujairah Port 'minutes before' IRGC missile strike

 

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...)

Handala hacktivists gain access to identities of US Marines in Persian Gulf

 

The pro-resistance Handala hacking group says it has access to the identities of tens of thousands of “terrorist” US Navy personnel in retaliation for the crimes committed during the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, including the murder of schoolchildren in Minab.

“We have sent a direct message to US Marines via WhatsApp and said: ‘Those who thought their identities were hidden, think again; the identities of tens of thousands of US Navy personnel, from operational bases to recreational activities and off-duty patrols, are fully known to us’,” Handala said in a statement.

The message added, “We will deal with you terrorists whose hands are stained with the blood of Minab students. We suggest you contact your families right now and say your final goodbyes.”

The US and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, killing over 3,300 Iranians.

On the very first day of the war, the US-Israeli attacks targeted a girls’ elementary school in Minab in southern Iran, killing at least 168 children.  (more...)

Nowhere to Hide: Maglan’s Secret Agents Exposed to the World

 

Handala Special Statement: Exposing 100 Senior Officers of the Israeli Maglan Unit

Once again, Handala has shattered the so-called impenetrable security wall of the Zionist regime by revealing the full identities and details of 100 senior officers from the Maglan Unit for the first time ever.

Maglan, one of Israel’s most elite and feared special forces units, is notorious for its ultra-secret operations deep inside enemy territory, engaging in covert missions, intelligence gathering, targeting strategic enemy assets (such as missile systems and bases), and participating in asymmetric and anti-guerrilla warfare.

This unit has always tried to keep the names and faces of its officers hidden in the shadows, but today, the Resistance’s shadows have brought them to light.

To all Maglan officers, take this as a warning:

From this moment, there is no mask left to hide behind.

Your names, faces, backgrounds, and even your routes and movements are now in our hands, and every action you take will be met with the response it deserves.

You, who for years hunted targets in the darkness of special operations, are now yourselves the hunted, targeted by the shadows of the Resistance.

This exposure is only the beginning.

Handala is present at the very core of your so-called security, and even the most secret rooms are under our watchful eye.

Prepare for the consequences;

Your security is nothing but a myth now.  (more...)

Internet Communities Are Dying… And Nobody Noticed

 

What happened to online communities? Seriously?!

There was a time where the internet actually felt alive. You would find random forums about super niche topics. People knew each other.

You recognized usernames. There were inside jokes, real conversations, even drama sometimes. It felt like a real, welcoming place!

Now?

Most of us just rotate between the same few apps:

• Instagram
• TikTok
• YouTube
• Reddit
• X

And somehow… it feels more empty. There are less communities, but more content. Less conversation, and more engagement.

The internet used to feel like a city full of different neighborhoods, and now it feels like a shopping mall.

Everything is centralized, everything is algorithm-driven, and the communities we thought we were building… we never actually owned them.

In this video, I break down what changed and why it feels this way. And more importantly… what might come next!

When Iranian Hackers Published Kash Patel’s Rum Photo, It Looked Like a Joke. Now It Doesn’t

 

On March 19, Kash Patel stood at a Justice Department podium and delivered the kind of line that plays perfectly on cable news. “We took down four of their operation’s pillars and we’re not done,” the FBI director said after the government seized domains linked to Handala, an Iran-linked hacking group. It was the usual show of force — chest out, enemy named, victory declared.

Eight days later, Handala hacked Patel’s personal Gmail and dumped what it said were years of emails and personal photos online. Among the images was a mirror selfie of Patel holding a large bottle of rum. At the time, the picture looked like a humiliating punchline. The man who had just bragged about crippling Iran’s hackers had his inbox raided by the same crew. Washington got its irony hit, the internet got its meme, and the story moved on.

That was March. The laughter came easily because the image looked random.

Yesterday, The Atlantic made that photo land differently.

The magazine reports that more than two dozen current and former officials, aides, hospitality workers, lobbyists, and others described Patel’s tenure as erratic, alcohol-soaked, and alarming enough that senior administration figures are already discussing possible replacements. The article says meetings and briefings were pushed later because of Patel’s late-night drinking, that his security detail at one point requested breaching equipment after he was unreachable behind locked doors, and that on April 10 he panicked over a technical login problem, concluded he had been fired, and triggered calls across the FBI, Congress, and the White House asking who was in charge.  (more...)

Handala Telegram Channel Suspended: What the Sudden Takedown Means for Hacktivist Operations

 

Introduction

A major development has emerged in the hacktivist and threat intelligence landscape as the primary Telegram channel linked to the group known as Handala has been suspended. Telegram has long been a central hub for cyber activist coordination, propaganda distribution, and operational announcements, making such a suspension noteworthy but not necessarily decisive. While takedowns often appear to signal disruption, history shows that these groups are highly adaptive, frequently rebuilding communication infrastructure within hours or days. This incident raises broader questions about platform enforcement effectiveness, resilience of decentralized threat actors, and the ongoing cat-and-mouse dynamic between messaging platforms and cyber groups operating in the digital underground.

The Incident

The main Telegram channel associated with the hacktivist group Handala has been suspended.

The channel is currently inaccessible to users and external observers.

The suspension was observed recently, indicating a fresh enforcement action.

No official confirmation has been provided regarding the cause of removal.

Such suspensions are commonly linked to Telegram policy enforcement actions.

Mass reporting campaigns may have contributed to the takedown.

Violations of platform rules are another possible reason for removal.

Handala is categorized within the broader hacktivist ecosystem.

Hacktivist groups often rely heavily on Telegram for communication.

The channel served as a primary coordination and messaging hub.

Despite removal, group activity is not expected to fully cease.

Historical patterns show rapid migration to backup channels.

Alternative communication platforms are often prepared in advance.  (more...)

Hackers break into Israel's 'Holocaust museum,' expose Mossad spies posing as visitors

 

A hacking group announces breaking into the Israeli regime's "Holocaust museum," gleaning personal data of all visitors, including undercover agents belonging to the regime's Mossad spy agency.

In a statement on Tuesday, Handala, a pro-resistance hacktivist group, said it now possessed personal data of all visitors, financial donors, covert delegations, and even Mossad agents, who had visited the facility using false identities.

It identified the target as the "Yad Vashem Museum" in the holy occupied city of al-Quds, which Tel Aviv calls the largest "Holocaust memorial institution" in the occupied territories.

The operation, the group said, once again challenged the regime’s fragile cybersecurity.

The group has a proven track record of targeting high-level Israeli figures, exposing their secrets and contributing to the psychological and information warfare against the regime.

Most recently, the group announced on April 9 that it had successfully breached the personal phone of Herzi Halevi, former chief of staff of the Israeli army, extracting thousands of confidential images, videos, documents, and files.  (more...)
