The hacktivist group known as Handala Hack Team has allegedly claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on two Israeli companies, Nifloat Hatzuna Ltd. and Vynopsis, leading to a significant data breach. Nifloat Hatzuna Ltd. is a catering and logistics contractor reportedly responsible for providing food services to sensitive locations, including government buildings and detention centers. The compromise of such an entity raises serious security concerns due to the nature of its clientele and the access it may have.
In a separate attack, the group also allegedly targeted Vynopsis, a prominent company that specializes in creating automated financial news videos for brokers and investors. Vynopsis is a key player in the financial technology sector, providing white-label video solutions that are built on algorithms and trust. The breach of their systems could undermine confidence among their partners and users who rely on them for timely and secure financial market updates. The attackers claim to have exfiltrated hundreds of gigabytes of data from the two companies.
The group has allegedly leaked a substantial amount of data from both entities. The information purportedly stolen from Nifloat Hatzuna Ltd. includes:
- Procurement orders
- Delivery logs
- Staff lists
- Invoices
- Kitchen schedules
From Vynopsis, the data allegedly exposed includes:
- Source Code
- User templates
- Investor summaries
- Custom branding files
- Internal tech logs
