A group of pro-Palestinian hackers from Malaysia, known as DragonForce, claim to have hacked the AcadeMe website ("Academic") - the largest student and alumni recruitment network in Israel, and stole a database of more than 200,000 student records containing personal information.

Mae Brooks-Kempler, CEO of HELENA and founder of the THINK SAFE CYBER community, said the attackers began leaking the information to a public telegram group. The

pro-Palestinian attackers recently posted messages of support to Gaza residents in the telegram group, which has more than 233,000 subscribers, and called for the image to be replaced on social media "as a sign of solidarity with the suffering Palestinian people."

The hackers also called for an attack on Israeli organizations.

"This is an urgent call for all hackers, human rights organizations and activists around the world to unite again and start a campaign against Israel, to share what is really happening there, to expose their terrorist activities to the world. We will never remain silent against the war," the statement said.

Brooks-Kempler warns that this incident joins other information leak events, and increased vigilance is required in receiving e-mails, text messages (SMS) and even regular calls.

"All indications are that he managed to get his hands on a very large pool of Israeli students," she added.
