Iran-Linked Hackers Leak Details of 2,379 US Marines, Issue Death Threats

A hacking group tied to Iran’s intelligence ministry says it has published personal information of 2,379 US Marines stationed in the Persian Gulf. The leaked data reportedly includes home addresses, family details, shopping habits and nightly routines. The Handala Hack Team claims it sent WhatsApp messages to affected service members, warning that their identities are no longer hidden and urging them to farewell their families. The group calls this a “minor warning” and threatens further attacks using Shahed drones and Kheibar missiles. This incident follows claims that the same group breached FBI systems last month, releasing emails and photos of a former agency director. The US Marine Corps has been contacted for comment on the breach and the safety of its personnel.
