Hamas used online ‘honeypots’ to lure and hack Israeli soldiers

Quote:
The “Operation Hunter’s Network” identified dozens of accounts on social networks, such as Facebook, which operated with false or stolen identities with the intent to extract classified information from both regular and reserve IDF soldiers, the paper reported.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the fake “women” would engage with Israeli soldiers — mostly men and some women — urging them to download applications such as Wowo Messenger, SR Chat and YeeCall Pro to get a virus on their phone, according to Military Intelligence officials.

The virus would also have access to the phone’s camera and microphone, taking pictures and recording conversations without the soldier knowing, as well as the ability to download hidden apps, which gave Hamas access to virtually all the data on those phones.
