Hackers attack Israeli engineering firms days after targeting Ministry of War

A hacker group called Moses Staff says it has successfully conducted a cyberattack on three Israeli engineering companies, days after it leaked files obtained by targeting the regime’s Ministry of War.

Faraan: The group announced on Tuesday that it had struck Ehud Leviathan Engineering, David Engineers, and H.G.M. Engineering, without making any demands for money or anything else.

It also leaked data from the Israeli firms, including projects, maps, contracts, pictures, letters and video conferencing images.

Documents about infrastructure projects such as highways and public water systems, as well as a tender concerning construction at the entrance of al-Quds were also among the leaked information.

Moses Staff said that the information it had exposed did not include everything that it had obtained, and that it would gradually release the rest.

Recently, Black Shadow group hackers broke into the servers of Israeli internet hosting company Cyberserve, bringing down a number of widely-used websites and warning the firm that it was in possession of data that could be leaked.

It further demanded a ransom payment of $1 million in digital currency to stop the leak.

Separately, Moses Staff said it had access to confidential documents, including reports, operational maps, information about soldiers and units, and letters and correspondence.

In an earlier attack, it leaked photos of Israeli Minister of War Benny Gantz and army soldiers and a 2010 letter from Gantz to the deputy chief of the joint chiefs of staff and chief of intelligence in the Jordanian Armed Forces.
