Iran-linked hacker group claims responsibility for threatening Tel Aviv flyers
Flyers were found in mailboxes at several addresses in northern Tel Aviv on Monday.
A QR code on the flyers led to a webpage with threats against Israel’s energy and water infrastructure.
The Iran-linked hacker group Handala claimed it had distributed the flyers, but its claim has not been independently confirmed.
Police collected the flyers as evidence, and police and the Shin Bet opened a joint investigation.
Handala has previously targeted Israeli officials and companies with cyberattacks and leaked information.
The flyers matter because they brought a threat linked to a hacker group into people’s mailboxes, rather than keeping it online.
The investigation is ongoing, and no further steps were specified.
