Hamas Hackers Spy on Mideast Gov’ts, Disrupt Israel

A longstanding threat actor affiliated with Hamas has been conducting espionage against governments across the Middle East and destructive wiper attacks in Israel.

“Wirte” is a 6 1/2-year-old advanced persistent threat (APT) working to support Hamas’ political agenda. Check Point Research identifies it as a subgroup of the Gaza Cybergang (aka Molerats), which is also thought to overlap with TA402.
