Hacktivism is back – but don't be fooled, it's often state-backed goons in masks

I cannot and will not condone #cybercrime but this could not have happened to a nicer guy.
A #hackers or #HackingGroup calling itself #RadwanCyberPal has claimed to have successfully #hacked Israel’s Ministry of #NationalSecurity and has published the stolen #data online. The documents appear to relate to #FirearmsLjcences held by 5,000 #Israeli settlers. Each data set contains PDFs of several licence documents, complete with signatures, alongside scans of other documents and photo ID cards. Most of the documents appear to be from within the last two years, and the photo IDs appear to be current. The documents are all in Hebrew and appear to be genuine. Radwan Cyber Pal contacted Cyber Daily directly today, 11 November, and the threat actor’s Telegram page was created on the same day. Despite this, there have been scattered reports of the hack on several accounts on Instagram and X six days ago on 5 November, but no other details were provided.
Radwan Cyber Pal’s Telegram page is written largely in Arabic, and the first post is a common Quranic quote popular with many pro-Palestinian groups, such as the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Speaking of the hack itself, Radwan Cyber Pal said in English: “Following our victories in the field of the war with the genocidal regime, the Radwan Cyber Pal targeted Israel’s Ministry of National Security. We have the full data of the #IsraeliOccupation settlers and soldiers in addition to many confidential documents.” “All armed occupiers are our legitimate targets. Leave our stolen lands and homes now.”

The #Iranian #Hanzala #hackers group has #hacked the personal phone of Major General Ehud Shani, current Commander of the #IDF #Cybersecurity Corps and former Chief of the #Israeli Army's Communications Corps
They released, amongst other things, an image of the him lying naked inside the bath tub, innapropriately touching himself. We have censored the photo.
The hacker group also published Ehud Shani's personal information, including phone number, and threatened to release more sensitive and scandalous information if he does not abide by their demands.

Are there any instances where #hactivism has made a discernable difference? Genuinely curious about this, I heard a convo on a podcast about this recently and I imagine it's a very powerful tool for change but I'm unaware of any direct impacts such actions have had.
