Iran-linked Hacker Group Claims Breach of FBI Drones, Threatens 2026 World Cup

12 Haziran 2026France 24

An Iran-linked hacker group known as Handala has claimed responsibility for hacking FBI drones, as reported by the monitoring group SITE. The group has also issued a threat to target the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
This incident raises concerns about the security of critical infrastructure and international events.
Cyberattacks have become a common tool for state and non-state actors to exert influence and create chaos. The threat to the World Cup, one of the most-watched sporting events globally, indicates a shift in tactics where cyber warfare intersects with geopolitical tensions.
The claim by Handala highlights the increasing sophistication and boldness of cyber threats, particularly from state-linked groups. Targeting a high-profile event like the World Cup not only demonstrates their technical capabilities but also aims to instill fear and disrupt global events.
