Pro-Iran hackers claim cyberattack on Spotify, cite ‘revenge’ for Khamenei's killing - report

A pro-Iran hacker group calling itself the Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq – 313 Team claimed responsibility for a distributed denial-of-service attack against Spotify on Tuesday evening, stating it targeted the platform's servers in what it framed as retaliation; separately, the Iranian hacktivist group Handala claimed to have published identifying information on 48 IDF Egoz commando veterans and sent threatening WhatsApp messages to Israeli civilians referencing missile strikes. The attacks represent a pattern of Iranian cyber and psychological operations against Israeli targets and infrastructure, though the Egoz list reportedly contained individuals already publicly identified on social media rather than previously concealed senior officers as claimed.
