The emerging cybercriminal group Cyber Toufan has announced its accountability for a recent data breach at Ikea Israel. In a dark web post titled “Day Four, Leak Two,” the group claimed possession of information from over 400,000 Ikea Israel users, including names, numbers, password hashes, and emails. Cyber Toufan asserts that these cyberattacks are part of a retaliatory campaign against the Israel-Hamas conflict, continuing for over 47 days.
The hackers express their intention to persist in these attacks as long as the war continues, citing grievances related to the loss of children’s lives, Israeli occupation, and forced displacements.
The Cyber Toufan Ikea Israel breach is part of a broader series of revenge-driven cyberattacks, with the group targeting various entities associated with Israel. Previous claims include breaching organizations such as Max Security, the Israel Innovation Authority, Radware, the Israeli government’s National Archives, and Shefa Online, an Israel-based service.
The group presents these actions as acts of vengeance and vows to continue launching attacks against entities it associates with the perceived injustices in the ongoing conflict. The claims made by Cyber Toufan are currently unverified, and the cybersecurity community is awaiting further confirmation of the Ikea Israel data breach.
The alleged Ikea Israel data breach is revealed through a dark web post by Cyber Toufan, citing its objectives in the context of the Israel-Hamas war. The group declares an intention to provide “gifts” in the form of leaked information as a response to what it sees as Israeli actions against its people.
