An Iranian-linked hacker group known as Handala has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to employees of Lockheed Martin working in Israel, claiming it has gained access to sensitive personal and professional data belonging to 28 American engineers.
The warning, reported by the press service of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, states that the group may release the information and take further action against the individuals and their families if they fail to leave the region within the specified timeframe.
In its statement, Handala alleged that the targeted engineers have been involved for years in critical technical programs supporting the Israeli military. These reportedly include maintenance and support for advanced fighter aircraft such as the F-35 Lightning II and the F-22 Raptor, as well as work related to the THAAD missile defence system.
The group further claimed it had established contact with some of the engineers and had analysed both routine personal information and more sensitive confidential data. The allegations could not be independently verified, and no immediate response from Lockheed Martin or the individuals mentioned was reported.
