– Since I heard about this intrusion, I can’t stop thinking about it. I have intimate photos and sexual correspondence there and it will destroy me if I reach my family, user A said of Walla’s personal portal. He added that it was just scary.
Hackers found that the information leaked so far on the web represents only 1% of the data obtained during the intrusion.
According to Israeli media, the Black Shadow is a group of hackers linked to the Iranian government who use cyber attacks for criminal purposes. In 2020, the group hacked into the systems of the Israeli insurance company Sherbet, demanded a ransom of $1 million, and began revealing information when the company refused to pay.
