Israel's Ministry Of Justice Hit By A Massive Cyberattack

Anonymous, a hacker group, has reportedly targeted the Israeli Ministry of Justice's servers, making headlines once more. The group claimed to have successfully penetrated the ministry's servers in various operations and to have obtained a sizable 300GB of data in an online video message.

This haul contains a wide range of sensitive material, including contact details, official documents, personnel records, and even information about judges.

The clip draws attention to the alleged corruption and immoral behaviour of what Anonymous refers to as "cruel officials" in the Israeli government and issues a strong warning to them. The group alleges that these authorities disregarded earlier warnings they made during their hacking of the nuclear organisation.

In a video message, Anonymous claimed, "We have warned cruel officials about their actions and its results in our previous operation (hacking nuclear organisation), but they did not pay attention to it."
The signature phrase of Anonymous, "We do not forgive, we do not forget, expect us," comes last in the message. This alert acts as a reminder of the group's resolve and capacity to launch more cyberattacks.

The cyberattack and the accusations made by Anonymous have not yet received an official response from the Israeli Ministry of Justice. Cybersecurity professionals do, however, warn that these kinds of intrusions put people at serious risk—not just government agencies but also the individuals whose personal data might have been exposed.

To reduce the threats posed by these bad actors, cybersecurity measures need to be reinforced as the digital ecosystem develops. This incident serves as a reminder of the continuous difficulties encountered globally in thwarting cyberthreats from tenacious and cunning adversaries such as Anonymous.
