WANA (Jun 12) – The cyber group known as “Handala” has claimed responsibility for a major breach into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) security drone systems, alleging they maintained unrestricted access to live video feeds and classified data for several months.
According to a statement released by the group, the compromised FBI drones—which are deployed under the guise of counter-terrorism operations—are equipped with advanced facial recognition technology and automatic license plate readers.
Handala asserts that all captured imagery and data were successfully exfiltrated, noting that the breach even exposed the personal information of FBI agents. To substantiate their claims, the hacking collective published a series of images that they claim were intercepted directly from the feeds of the FBI’s operational security drones.
In a pointed message directed at FBI Director Kash Patel, the group mocked the $10 million bounty previously placed on their identification.
Handala claimed they had been actively monitoring Patel’s own movements and activities through the Bureau’s compromised internal systems. Beyond the FBI breach, the group issued a series of chilling warnings regarding international security.
Handala warned organizers of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, claiming that First-Person View (FPV) drones could easily bypass security and appear anywhere. Furthermore, the collective alleged that they may currently be monitoring U.S. military operations in Bahrain by exploiting vulnerabilities in the U.S. Army’s MQ-9 Reaper drone systems.
The group concluded their statement with a defiant sign-off, declaring that they remain permanently “one step ahead of the shadows.”
