An Iranian-linked hacker group<\/a> on Saturday published the names, photos and personal details of 10 senior engineers and employees in Israeli defense industries, offering a $10,000 reward for information on their whereabouts.<\/p>\n

The group posted the workers\u2019 full names, phone numbers, home communities, job titles, email addresses and r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, along with additional identifying details. It was not immediately clear whether the information was scraped from public sources such as LinkedIn or obtained through a breach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expose those who believed their crimes could remain hidden in the dark,\u201d the group wrote, issuing an explicit threat: \u201cThis is not just a declaration. It is a warning that echoes in every corridor you walk, every home you trust, every secret you keep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each employee was labeled \u201cwanted,\u201d with the group offering \u201c$10,000 for reliable information leading to his arrest,\u201d including location details or activity updates. The group pledged \u201cabsolute confidentiality\u201d for anyone who provided information.<\/p>\n

The publication follows the discovery Friday on ynet of an anonymous website<\/a> called The Punishment For Justice Movement, which issued direct threats to kill senior Israeli academics. The site portrayed them as \u201ccriminals\u201d and \u201ccollaborators with the Israeli army\u201d and offered cash rewards for attacks. Israeli officials fear Iran is behind the site. Roughly two hours after its exposure, access to the site was blocked.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Iranian opposition outlet Iran International reported on an Iranian cyber network known as \u201cDepartment 40,\u201d which operates under the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Unit 1500. The investigation named Iranian operatives involved in cyberattacks against Israelis and Jews in Israel and abroad, led by Abbas Rahravi.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Department 40 was tasked with tracking Israelis visiting Turkey in real time. Hackers allegedly broke into medical clinics in Istanbul where Israelis underwent cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation and hair transplants, and accessed mobile phones of Israelis treated there.<\/p>\n

Over the past several years, the Mossad has intervened to extract Israelis from Turkey moments before Iranian teams attempted to kill or abduct them, according to Israeli officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Iranian-linked hacker group on Saturday published the names, photos and personal details of 10 senior engineers and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-147294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
