Iranian hacker group claims it hacked the phone of the Prime Minister's chief of staff

Handala claims years of data from Netanyahu's chief of staff's phone exposing alleged corruption and secret deals, calling it 'Bibi Gate Operation,' while investigations continue.

  • Handala, an Iranian hacker group, claimed on X Sunday that it had hacked Tzachi Braverman's personal mobile phone, calling the operation `Operation Bibi's Gate`.
  • Earlier this month the group claimed it had hacked former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's personal mobile phone, establishing a pattern of targeting senior Israeli figures.
  • The hackers have started publishing alleged materials, including contacts, photos and videos, while Handala boasts of encrypted chats and hidden deals involving Tzachi Braverman.
  • Officials report no immediate evidence the device was compromised, while a Prime Minister's Office official said an investigation continues despite hacker threats to reveal details about Qatergate and Braverman's alleged involvement.
  • Earlier leaks included fabricated content, such as a fabricated photo of Naftali Bennett alongside David Ben-Gurion, and Handala warned that files, recordings and videos tying officials to corruption are about to surface.
