Handala Hacker Group Attacking Israeli High-Tech and Aerospace Professionals

Handala has launched a targeted doxxing campaign against Israeli high‑tech and aerospace professionals, publishing a dataset (hosted on dark-web channels) that mixes scraped LinkedIn profiles with likely fabricated entries and offering monetary bounties to crowdsource further intelligence. Trustwave researchers observed data inconsistencies and report the group uses automated scraping plus manual manipulation; the activity elevates privacy, safety, and reputational risks for individuals and recommends enhanced personal data hygiene, identity monitoring, and organizational awareness.
