A hacker group claims to have stolen a trove of 500GB of medical data from Ziv
Medical Center in Safed, Israel — including 100,000 records related to the
Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

The center itself issued a statement on Nov. 27 confirming that it was
investigating a cyber incident. A subsequent Telegram post on Dec. 2 by the
Malek Team cyber-threat group took responsibility for the hit, claiming that the
data includes 700,000 medical documents, with media reports saying this includes
patients' personal and medical information, such as types of diseases suffered
and prescribed drugs.



The hacker group also offered a series of screenshots of the allegedly stolen
information. It was not clear if they're attempting to sell the data or just
making it available for download.

Researchers first spotted Malek Team on Oct. 8, when it posted claims of hacking
into Ono Academic College, a private college in Israel. That post also displayed
personal data allegedly stolen from staff and students, including campus CCTV
videos.



The Israeli medical sector has been an increasingly popular target of late: The
Ragnar Locker gang, for example, hit the Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in
September and stole 1TB of data, including personal information, internal
emails, finances, medical cards, and other sensitive data.
