 ❗️Handala hackers claim full control of IranWire, extract sensitive data

The Iran-linked hacker group Handala has announced a major cyber operation, successfully taking full control of the news outlet IranWire. According to the group, the outlet was operating under the direct guidance and support of the CIA, and the operation allowed Handala to extract a vast volume of documents, including correspondence, lists of affiliates, infiltrators, and other confidential data. The extracted information has been securely encrypted for delivery to the intelligence agencies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In its statement, Handala emphasized that “no space remains safe for treason or espionage.” The group stated that all individuals who have had any cooperation or contact with IranWire, or who transmitted photos, videos, or coordinates to foreign services over the past years, have been identified and are now under constant and precise surveillance by the Axis of Resistance. The statement warned that any attempt to erase information or sever connections will be futile, as the group claims its cyber network has penetrated all layers of communication and data infrastructure, detecting and recording any suspicious activity.

The hacker collective stated that decisive action, arrests in the coming hours or days, and public exposure of identities will follow, stressing that “no act of betrayal will go unanswered.”

Handala’s statement also alleged that they are now actively present across all hostile media platforms, with further disclosures regarding other outlets and their affiliates to be announced at the appropriate time, in accordance with the interests of the Axis of Resistance. This operation represents one of Handala’s most comprehensive and detailed declarations to date.
