Alwaght- Hackers from Iran managed to gain access to computer database of top Israeli regime officials, Zionist media outlets have reported.
Israeli channel 10 claimed that the hackers are believed to be working for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps IRGC, adding that they have breached computers belonging to more than 1,800 individuals, including several hundred Israeli regime officials in the occupied territories.
Among those targeted are generals, current or past security officials, employees of consulting firms, and academic researchers.
The report added that an Iranian hacker succeeded in gaining access to the computer database of retired Israeli army chief of staff, Benny Gantz.
According to the report Ron Davidson, head of security services at the Israeli regime’s cyber firm Check Point, said that the cyber-attacks also targeted the regime’s journalists and scientists who specialize either in Iranian affairs or in the nuclear field.
Channel 10 reporter, Alon Ben David said that throughout last year Iranian hackers managed to take classified information from the computers they had attacked, including documents, images, mails and everything.
On the other hand, and in an interview with the “Times of Israel”, an army major knowledgeable about the subject pointed out that during the war on Gaza two years ago, the Israeli regime was targeted by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinian hacker groups.
“They displayed strong capabilities which have gotten considerably better over the years,” he said, speaking anonymously. “But the past year has seen some very sophisticated attacks,” he added.
