U.S. troops are now being directly targeted, not on the battlefield, but on their phones. An allegedly Iran-linked hacker group claims it knows who they are, where they are, and what they are doing. A group known as Handala Hack says it has obtained sensitive identification data of U.S. naval personnel operating in the Persian Gulf. According to the group, the data includes details on 2,379 service members, ranging from operational roles to off-duty activities. But this isn’t just a claim. U.S. service members stationed in the region, including those in Bahrain, have reportedly received direct messages via WhatsApp. Messages that are as alarming as they are personal.
