Handala

Handala is a hacking group believed to be linked to Iran. They are in the news due to recent cyberattacks attributed to them. Specifically, Handala claimed responsibility for a major cyberattack on Stryker Corporation, a US medical device company, which caused significant disruption to its global systems. This attack was reportedly in retaliation for the bombing of a school in Minab, Iran, allegedly by US-Israeli forces. Furthermore, Handala claimed to have hacked the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel, publishing personal documents and photos online. These actions highlight the increasing role of cyber warfare in the ongoing tensions between Iran, the US, and Israel, and demonstrate Handala's active involvement in this cyber conflict.
