Report: 7mln Israelis Have Personal Data Stolen as Hacker Strikes

 

The information obtained is now said to be for sale.

 

Israel has been the victim of numerous hacking attacks in recent years, with activists using such activity to air support for Palestinians living under its occupation. However, if this hack is found to be true, it would be the biggest in Israeli history with the private information of some 80 percent of the population falling into the hands of the hacker.

 

Israeli tech firms are world leaders in hacking software and the NSO Pegasus software has been found to have been used by authoritarian regimes to oppress, target, and kill dissidents.
