A group identifying as "NetHunter" has infiltrated the Israeli regime's Ministry of Military Affairs, issuing a demand for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners under threat of selling stolen data. The breach, announced via a video message on the group's Telegram channel, was later confirmed by security sources to Israel Hayom daily.
NetHunter claims to have accessed classified documents, including cooperation agreements with other nations, alongside revealing information about senior Israeli officers and military personnel. Describing the cyberattack as a response to what it terms "Zionist crimes," the group vows to expose Israel's actions and its allies to the global community.
If the regime fails to comply with their demand to release 500 Palestinian prisoners, NetHunter threatens to sell the compromised information to pro-Palestinian states. The stolen data, which reportedly includes communications and orders, is being offered for sale at 50 bitcoins, equivalent to around $3.45 million.
This incident echoes a similar attack last November by a group known as "Cyber Toufan," which targeted the ministry and subsequently leaked extensive amounts of data, including the identities of Israeli army personnel, on their Telegram account.
