A hacktivist group called INDOHAXSEC (Indonesian Haxor Security) claims it has leaked the personal data of over 8.3 million Israeli residents. The group says the information was taken from Israeli general election records.
The alleged leak includes 1,618 files across 116 folders, totalling 2GB of data — shared online as a 617MB compressed file. If real, this would be one of the largest breaches of Israeli citizen data ever recorded.
INDOHAXSEC says the attack is political. The group framed it as digital support for Palestine and Iran amid ongoing tensions in the region.
Cybersecurity experts are now investigating whether the files are genuine. If confirmed, the data could include sensitive voter details such as names, home addresses, and national ID numbers.
Israel has a population of around 9.5 million — meaning a leak of 8.3 million records would affect nearly every adult in the country.
Israeli authorities have not officially confirmed or denied the breach. This matters, because many high-profile “leaks” in the past have turned out to be old, recycled data dressed up to look new.
Hacktivists have targeted election databases before, often to create panic or shake public trust in government. Whether this leak is real or not, the warning is clear: do not download the files. Links shared alongside these leaks frequently contain malware.
