An Iranian hacker group called “pay2key” claimed today (Sunday) That broke into the aerospace industry computers. The hackers posted a list of system users on their website as proof of obtaining the material from the company’s computers. IAI said the issue was under investigation.
The hackers posted IAI usernames, without a password, and wrote in the dark web: “The interesting part was gaining access to the file servers that include technical information, video, research and projects. Am I inside? Who knows? Do you still think IAI’s network is the safest?” .
At the end of the week, the company published a questionnaire in which it sought to rate the level of cyber protection of three organizations – IAI, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Health. A countdown clock was attached to the questionnaire which gave the impression that at the end of the count it would be discovered that one of the bodies had been broken into.

Check Point, the information security company, commented on the hack and said: “As we reported in early November, the Pay2Key group, although ostensibly perceived as a group of hackers with a purely economic interest in their demand for ransom money, also shows clear signs of anti-Israel ideology. “When we linked the attackers to Iran. In the last two weeks, the attackers have been attacking many companies, and this is now reflected in the Twitter account and the designated leak site that is open in Darknet.”
They added that “it is important to note that the attackers are motivated by the media response they receive, and the sense of cyber terrorism they are trying to produce cannot be ignored. Companies must understand that it is not possible to know when they will become the target of cyber attacks, not only in crime but also “And therefore we must defend ourselves against advanced attacks like this by advanced means, and that antivirus will not help in defending ourselves against this attack. Certainly when it comes to government and security bodies.”
At the beginning of last week, the hacker group claimed that it had hacked into the data of the Israeli company Bana Labs, which develops processors for artificial intelligence applications and was recently acquired by Intel. In the tweets posted by the hackers, screenshots were uploaded showing that they had achieved a broad access to a database, which they claimed allegedly belonged to Habana. They tagged the two companies and wrote “We have something special .. for whom?”.
As you may recall, earlier this month it was revealed that the hacker group “Black Shadow” had broken into the insurance company “Shirbit” and obtained documents from the company’s servers. The hackers demanded that the company send a ransom of 50 bitcoins ($ 961,110) to their digital bitcoin wallet within 24 hours, while promising that if the payment is transferred – they will not use the information.
The hackers have published large collections of files containing private information of customers and employees. The group threatened that if the money was not sent within 24 hours – the amount would start to increase gradually, and they would continue to leak more data. They did, and even announced that they had sold a “first package” of the stolen information. In addition, they published a number of additional, non-obscure documents, including the old passport of the company’s CEO Zvi Leiboshor. Although this is a passport that is not valid, the passport includes the identity number of Leiboshor. The company, for its part, refuses to pay.
