Iranian hackers leak Mossad chief’s medical records
A group of Iranian-linked hackers leaked on Sunday images and medical documents purportedly belonging to Mossad Director David (Dedi) Barnea.
The hacker group posted to its Telegram channel in the
morning hours a photo of the Israeli spy chief that was apparently taken during
the 2016 U23 European Judo Championships which took place in Tel Aviv.
The image was accompanied by an ominous caption saying,
"Dedi, are you ready for the next tip?", which may indicate that more
files with connection to Barnea may be leaked soon.
Barnea is scheduled to travel to the United States on Monday
where he is scheduled to meet with senior White House officials, as well as
with the CIA, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon, the State Department as
well as other agencies.
The Mossad head's trip to the United States will focus on
tightening security and intelligence coordination with the Americans around the
Iranian nuclear issue and amid reports that a potential return to the 2015
nuclear agreement is moving farther away.
Later on Sunday, the group posted the results of a medical
examination supposedly conducted for Barnea in 2018. The document included the
results of a cardiac examination as well as hearing and eye tests.
Another document leaked by the hackers features the results
of a blood test supposedly belonging to Barnea.
Last week, the same hackers published an apparent photo from
a dental appointment with a caption mocking Barnea's dental hygiene habits.
Earlier this year, the group leaked a trove of personal
documents belonging to Barnea, including his ID. Israeli officials the
materials were obtained from his wife’s cellphone.
