Exclusive: Anti-Israeli hacker claims National Security Ministry hack, posts settler IDs online
Threat actor Radwan Cyber Pal posted gun permit documents and photo IDs belonging to 5,000 Israelis on Telegram.
A hacker or group of hackers calling themselves Radwan Cyber Pal claimed to have successfully hacked the Israeli Ministry of National Security and published the stolen data online.
The documents appear to relate to firearms permits held by 5,000 Israeli settlers. Each dataset contains PDFs of several license documents, complete with signatures, as well as scans of other documents and photo ID cards.
Most documents appear to be from the last two years and photo IDs appear to be up to date. The documents are all in Hebrew and appear authentic.
Radwan Cyber Pal contacted Cyber Daily directly today, November 11, and the threat actor’s Telegram page was created on the same day.
Despite this, there were scattered reports of the hack on several Instagram and X accounts six days ago, on November 5, but no further details were provided.
Radwan Cyber Pal’s Telegram page is written largely in Arabic, and the first message is a common Quranic quote popular with many pro-Palestinian groups, such as the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
Speaking about the hack itself, Radwan Cyber Pal said in English: “Following our victories in the war against the genocidal regime, Radwan Cyber Pal targeted the Israeli Ministry of National Security. We have complete data on settlers and occupying soldiers in addition to numerous confidential documents. »
“All armed occupiers are our legitimate targets. Leave our stolen lands and homes now.
In a similar post in Arabic, the threat actor said: “We have a lot of comprehensive data on settlers and occupying soldiers, in addition to numerous security documents. »
In a message containing links to several large files archived on an anonymous file hosting service, Radwan Cyber Pal claimed to share “the entire data of 5,000 Israeli settlers”.
This appears to be the first action of a previously little-known threat group.
Cyber Daily has contacted the Ministry of National Security for comment.
