A threat actor has allegedly claimed to possess sensitive data on former members of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) intelligence units, particularly those who have transitioned to IT roles worldwide after leaving Unit 8200. The actor asserts that the data includes real names, geolocations outside Israel (in countries such as the USA, France, UK, Italy, and UAE), contact details, and information on the companies these individuals are now associated with, as well as their private projects.
The threat actor is reportedly offering this data for sale at a price of 1 Bitcoin. They also mentioned that although they have managed to hack many members, the data from hacked machines and emails is not included in the current sale but may be released at a later date.
The actor emphasizes the sensitive nature of the operation, referring to it as an espionage operation and warning that the release of samples could jeopardize insiders and those they work with. They also claim a strong reputation in Israel and among previous buyers, asserting confidence in their credibility without needing to convince potential new buyers.
This claim, if true, could have severe implications for the individuals and organizations involved. However, as with all such claims, the veracity of the threat actor’s statements remains unverified.
