An Iranian hacker group identified as "N3tw0rm" has warned that it could release 110 gigabytes of data belonging to H&M Israel unless its demands, which have not been publicly specified, are met.
Several other Israeli companies have recently been targeted in similar cyberattacks.
In December, Iranian hackers claimed to have carried out a cyberattack against Israel Aerospace Industries.
That cyber group, known as Pay2Key, published on its website a list of users of company Elta Systems as proof for breaching its system.
According to Kan 11 News, the attackers boasted about their alleged success on the dark web, coyly alluding to their ability to encroach any cyber defense.
Cyber researcher Jackie Eltal estimated that if the hackers gained access to users' information, they probably hold onto more sensitive information from Elta Systems' database, Kan reported.
