    11 postsIsraelInfosecWorldTech

    An Iranian hacker group, identified as Handala, carried out a cyberattack targeting the emergency systems of around 20 kindergartens and educational institutions in Israel. The attackers breached the panic button systems operated by the Israeli company Maagar-Tec, using them to broadcast rocket sirens, pro-terrorism songs, and Arabic messages. The attack also involved sending tens of thousands of intimidating text messages to Israeli citizens. Maagar-Tec confirmed ongoing maintenance on its systems following the breach. The National Cyber Directorate of Israel confirmed the breach and is working with Maagar-Tec and the Ministry of Education to restore the systems and ensure security. Authorities have advised affected institutions to disconnect their devices and urged citizens to block and ignore the threatening messages. The incident is under investigation, and measures are being implemented to prevent future breaches.
