The network of an Israeli nuclear facility has reportedly been breached by the infamous Anonymous hacktivist group, leading to data being stolen.
The group targeted a nuclear facility in Dimona in Israel as part of a protest campaign against the war between Israel and Palestine.
Based on posts made on both X (formerly Twitter) and one of its Telegram channels, it launched the attack after demanding that the cities of Dimona and Yeruham be evacuated.
🚨Evacuate the city!
Time is getting finished...
Our operation will be started at tomorrow 14 P.M Dimona time.
You do not have much time to finish the war otherwise our anger will fire you all.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect ushttps://t.co/jEbDXlsScT pic.twitter.com/AmZlHEd28c— Anonymous, For justice (@anonymous_opil) March 10, 2024========================
According to the group, the attack resulted in 7GB of data being stolen, which includes 4,290 PDF files, 5,000 emails, 352 Excel documents, 1,359 Word documents, 236 PowerPoint files, and 28 zip files, among much more.
“We have targeted some servers of the baby killer regime’s nuclear organisations. In this operation, while wiping and destroying the data, we saved a part of it which includes 7GB data that we will disclose them to the people of the world,” the group said on X.
“Our operations will not stop and will continue until the end of the baby killer regime. We do not have time to check this data and we leave checking them to you.”
Hacking your nuclear organisations was just a small part of our plan against you and your crimes. You killed thousands of innocent Palestinian child, deceived your people with your nuclear weapons and promised them security.https://t.co/er95SxzunQ pic.twitter.com/tE28OyocAG

In a video posted to X (as seen above), the group launched the attack in protest of the tens of thousands of Palestinian children reportedly being killed in the war, with Anonymous claiming it has taken control of Israel’s nuclear weapons.
The group also said that this is just the “first step” of its operation, but that it conducted it in a way that no civilians were harmed “as we are not as like as the bloodthirsty Netanyahu and his terrorist army”.
Despite the group’s claims, there is reportedly no evidence that the group was able to breach the Dimona nuclear facility’s operational network.
Additionally, as reported by the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), Israeli cyber security experts are calling the claims an “exaggeration”, adding that the hackers only managed to steal unclassified documents.
