In a recent cyber incident, the Handala team has purportedly infiltrated the servers of Viber Messenger, a popular messaging platform. According to their claims, the group successfully extracted a comprehensive array of sensitive data and the source code of Viber Messenger.
The volume of data compromised in the attack is staggering, totaling over 740 gigabytes. They have set a price tag of 8 BTC for the stolen data.
In a provocative statement accompanying their claim, the Handala group asserts their motive for the attack, alleging that Viber Messenger has been used as a tool for global surveillance by entities associated with Zionist interests. The group emphasizes that they consider any company or startup with even tenuous connections to such entities as legitimate targets for their cyber operations.
