The Handala hacking group leaves a bouquet of flowers in the trunk of
Israeli nuclear scientist Dr. Isaac Gertz’s vehicle after gaining access to
his personal details.

*A group of pro-Palestinian hackers has announced that it has infiltrated
systems linked to Israel’s nuclear research sector, gaining access to
personal details of a renowned Israeli nuclear scientist, Dr. Isaac Gertz. *

The Handala hacking group, in a statement on Saturday, said its breach
targeted the Sorek Nuclear Research Center and that it had obtained
comprehensive information about Gertz, including his personal profile,
educational background, and addresses for both his home and workplace,
associated with the Sorek and Saraf facilities.

The group further stated that it had delivered a bouquet of flowers to
Gertz, signed by the Handala Truth Seekers Popular Resistance Front (HPR),
which was left in the trunk of the scientist’s vehicle.

According to Handala, the move was intended to showcase the group's
asserted physical and cyber infiltration, underscoring the vulnerabilities
within the facility's security systems.

The group also announced the payment of “the first $10,000
reward” previously promised, without providing further details.

The latest development came one day after the anniversary of the
assassination of Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was killed near
Tehran in November 2020.

Handala hinted that “more unusual events” could occur in the future, but
did not provide details.

The circumstances surrounding how the bouquet was placed in Gertz’s vehicle
remain uncertain.

Handala has previously carried out a series of cyberattacks, targeting
Israeli regime facilities, resulting in the leak of sensitive military
data, diplomatic communications, and other classified information.

The hacking group has also defaced numerous websites and compromised the
accounts of several high-profile Israeli politicians.

In April last year, Handala hacktivists successfully infiltrated the
Israeli military's radar systems and took down the much-hyped Israeli air
defense system, the Iron Dome.

The group substantiated its claims by sharing screenshots documenting the
hacking of the radars.
