FBI seizes pro-Iranian hacking group websites

The FBI and the Justice Department have successfully dismantled two websites associated with the pro-Iranian hacktivist group Handala. This action follows a recent destructive cyberattack by the group targeting the medical technology giant Stryker. The seizure of these websites represents a significant law enforcement effort to disrupt the operations of cybercriminal organizations engaged in politically motivated hacking. It underscores the ongoing battle against state-sponsored or affiliated hacking groups and their impact on critical industries.
