US FBI seizes Handala hacking group's websites
Change
The US FBI seized two websites used by the pro-Iranian hacktivist group Handala, replacing their content with a seizure banner and redirecting nameserver records to FBI-controlled servers.
Why it matters
Removing those domains disables Handala's public channels for posting claims and doxxed personal data, making it harder for the group to broadcast stolen material or coordinate through those sites. The action also blocks further public access to the doxxed information and reflects US authority control over domains linked to foreign-state-associated malicious cyber activity.
