They successfully hacked Tzachi Braverman&#8217;s mobile phone, gaining access to a vast array of confidential data from Netanyahu&#8217;s inner circle.<\/p>\n<p>In their announcement, the group claimed to have infiltrated encrypted conversations, documents, and details related to high-level corruption and clandestine dealings. They have initiated a new operation dubbed &#8220;Bibi Gate,&#8221; indicating the seriousness of their intentions.Last week, Hanzala made headlines by hacking former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett&#8217;s phone, which resulted in widespread shock across the occupied territories, particularly among Israeli security services. The latest breach has triggered a wave of reactions within Israel, with Hanzala beginning to release the extracted information from Braverman&#8217;s device, including a database of contacts and various multimedia files.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest that at least three conversations and chats, likely from the messaging platform Telegram, have been leaked. Initially, the Prime Minister&#8217;s office denied the hacking claims and has yet to respond to the information released by Hanzala.In response to the denial from Netanyahu&#8217;s office, Hanzala released additional details regarding Braverman&#8217;s contact information. Israeli news outlet Channel 12 reported that Iranian hackers had breached Braverman&#8217;s phone and started disseminating sensitive content from it. The hackers have threatened to release encrypted chats containing critical information about Netanyahu and the Qatar Gate scandal.The incident occurred just a week after the hack of Naftali Bennett&#8217;s phone, with Netanyahu&#8217;s office remaining silent on these reports. Channel 7 also highlighted the claims of the Iranian hacking group, which previously leaked Bennett&#8217;s phone data, stating that they possess sensitive information from Braverman&#8217;s device that will be released soon.Ma&#8217;ariv reported that the hackers had exposed contacts of high-profile individuals, including Defense Minister Gallant and Sara Netanyahu. The Hanzala group, following the successful breach of Bennett&#8217;s phone, claims to have accessed Braverman&#8217;s device and is now releasing content from it.Haaretz echoed these reports, noting that Iranian hackers have released videos and documents allegedly sourced from Braverman&#8217;s phone. The Hanzala group, which previously hacked Bennett&#8217;s Telegram, has now targeted Netanyahu&#8217;s Chief of Staff, promising to unveil information related to the Qatar Gate scandal.So far, Hebrew-language websites have cautiously reported on the breach of Braverman&#8217;s phone, implicitly acknowledging the success of Hanzala&#8217;s hacking operation, especially in light of the recent hack of Bennett&#8217;s phone, which stirred significant reactions in the occupied territories. Braverman is considered one of Netanyahu&#8217;s closest associates and a repository of secrets within the Prime Minister&#8217;s office, making the breach potentially detrimental to Israeli security and political stability.It is worth noting that Hanzala has conducted extensive cyber operations against Israel in recent months including hacking the financial networks of Mossad spies exposing the identity of a senior anti-espionage commander and revealing details of Israel&#8217;s nuclear weapons project and defense systems. Their actions have led to significant embarrassment for Israeli intelligence services on a global scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold cyber operation, the Hanzala hacking group has breached the phone of Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, just a week after hacking the former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett&#8217;s phone, exposing a trove of confidential information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20472\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
