Threatening notices with QR codes, said to belong to an Iran-linked hacker group, were left in the mailboxes of some homes in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel. On the website to which the QR code redirected, it was stated that if Israel launches another attack, the country's power plants, oil refineries, and water treatment facilities would be targeted, and the message "This is the final warning" was given. Following the incident, Israeli police and the Shin Bet internal intelligence agency launched a joint investigation.
It was reported that QR-coded (QR code) threat notices associated with an Iran-linked hacker group were left in the mailboxes of some houses in the north of Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, and that an investigation was launched into the matter.
According to reports in the Israeli press, after leaflets containing QR-coded threats were left in mailboxes at various addresses in northern Tel Aviv, the Israel Police and the Internal Intelligence Agency Shin Bet (Shabak) launched a joint investigation.
Security officials reported that the QR code redirects to a website with “threatening content.”
In the screenshot shared by the police, it was seen that the website contained a warning message belonging to a hacker group that had previously leaked data obtained from the personal devices of Israeli officials and was stated to be linked to Iran.
“THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING...”
In the message on the website, written in broken Hebrew, the following statements were directed at Israelis: “If your leaders once again act foolishly and attack the energy infrastructure of the resistance front, you must be prepared to pay the heavy price of this aggression.
When that day comes, not a single power plant, oil refinery, or seawater desalination plant will remain standing in the occupied territories. From south to north, your energy and water arteries will be shattered like glass.”
The statement on the site concluded with the words, “This is the final warning. The choice is yours: either you act sensibly or you are buried in the darkness and silence brought by disaster.”
In the press, it was announced that police teams went to the relevant addresses in Tel Aviv and collected the leaflets as evidence, and that Shin Bet was also included in the investigation.
