Israeli media: Hamas attempted to hack phones of IOF soldiers

 

Israeli media quoted the IOF as claiming that it had thwarted dozens of Hamas attempts to hack the phones of Israeli soldiers during the recent period.

 

According to Israeli media, this came after a joint operation between "Military Intelligence and the Cyber โ€‹โ€‹Division of the Shin Bet."

 

The IOF claimed that using fake profiles, specialized groups in the Hamas movement tried to convince IOF soldiers to download a game on their phones that allows Hamas to gain complete control of the device.

 

Israeli news website i24 said that this is not the first time that Hamas has tried to hack the phones of IOF soldiers and gather intelligence information through fake accounts and special applications.

 

In the same context, it is noteworthy that Israeli media reported in mid-March that the mobile phone of the wife of the Israeli Mossad Chief David Barnea was hacked and its contents were published on an anonymous Telegram account.

 

This came days after a cyberattack - attributed to Iranian hackers - paralyzed all Israeli occupation government websites.

 

In late January, an Iranian hacker group going by the name of "Moses Staff" hacked into the Israeli closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) on occupied Palestinian streets.
