Pro-Iran Handala group breached Israeli defence contractor PSK Wind Technologies

(Pierluigi Paganini – Security Affairs) Pro-Iran Handala group announced on April 2 that it breached PSK Wind Technologies, an Israeli engineering and IT firm specializing in integrated systems for defense and critical communications, including command and control solutions. Handala appears as a pro-Palestinian hacktivist group but is widely seen as a front for Iran-backed Void Manticore, as reported by SecurityWeek. Known for phishing, data theft, extortion, and destructive wiper attacks, they also engage in info operations and psychological warfare. Since the Iran conflict began, they’ve targeted Israeli military servers, intelligence officers, and companies, stealing or wiping data. The Handala claims to have stolen sensitive data from PSK Wind, including documents on command and control systems, allegedly sending it to “Axis of Resistance” missile units. The Axis of Resistance is an Iran-led political and military alliance of groups opposing Israel, the US, and allies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Syrian regime forces, and Shia militias in Iraq like Kata’ib Hezbollah. – Pro-Iran Handala group breached Israeli defence contractor PSK Wind Technologies
