Since the beginning of the Iran war, the group Explosive Media has released over a dozen viral videos mocking Trump and the US.
Handala, a pro-Iranian hacking group allegedly working for Iran’s government, published emails it said were taken from the Gmail account of FBI director Kash Patel.
Hackers working for Iran’s government are using Telegram in hacking operations that use malware to target dissidents, opposition groups, and journalists who oppose its regime, according to the FBI.
The U.S. Justice Department said an Iranian security ministry operates the fake activist persona known as Handala, which claimed responsibility for the destructive hack targeting medical tech giant Stryker.
The FBI and the Justice Department took down two websites linked to the pro-Iranian hacktivist group Handala, which last week hacked medical tech giant Stryker.
The hacktivist group claimed the attack was in retaliation for a U.S. strike on a Tehran school that killed more than 175 people, most of them children.
After U.S. and Israeli forces started bombing Iran, reports say cyber operations have disrupted communications, supporting surveillance activities, and have been used in psychological operations.
