Veritas Logistics

Hebrew media reported in May 2021 that Iranian hackers have targeted Veritas Logistics Israel and threatened to make consumer data public.

The hacking group published documents related to firms using Portnox’s services, they exposed Bezeq, Elbit, El Al, the Clalit health provider, and more companies' data.

The hacking gang infects its victims' networks with ransomware, which gives them access to data or systems, threatens to release business data, and then demands Bitcoins as a ransom payment.

The ransom demand from the hackers was 3 bitcoin ($170,000).

The National Cyber Directorate has warned that coordinated attacks against Israel and took preventive steps to stop such incidents.
