An Iran-linked cyber group formally attributed to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security by the US Department of Justice has announced a $50 million (£39.5M) reward for those who can 'eliminate' US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This declaration comes days after the same group claimed responsibility for breaching the personal email account of FBI Director Kash Patel.
The group, known as Handala Hack Team, published the bounty announcement on its website, framing it as a call to 'all freedom seekers and justice warriors around the world.' The statement reads in part: 'We, Handala Hack, hereby announce a $50 million reward for those heroes who can eliminate the main architects of oppression and corruption from the course of history.' The announcement carries weight beyond rhetoric — the group has already demonstrated the operational reach to compromise one of America's most senior law enforcement officials.
