Anonymous Syria Hackers

Also known asAnonymous Syria Hackers

Anonymous Syria Hackers is described in the content as an anti-Iran, pro-Israel counter-hacktivist group. It targets Iranian government channels, propaganda outlets, Iranian state media, government infrastructure, and IRGC-linked entities. Specifically, the content states that anti-Iran groups including Anonymous Syria Hackers target IRNA, ISNA, PressTV, IRIB, government infrastructure, and IRGC-linked entities. The group is also mentioned as participating in solidarity operations alongside Israeli cyber defenders. Reported activity attributed to Anonymous Syria Hackers includes publishing what it described as a 3.2 GB data leak from an Iranian educational institution linked to Khamenei loyalists under #Op_Iran, and claiming a breach of an Iranian e-commerce platform on March 5, 2026, allegedly exposing PayPal credentials, usernames, email addresses, and bcrypt-hashed passwords. The content also lists Anonymous Syria Hackers among hacking groups targeting Iran, alongside Islamic Hacker Army and Predatory Sparrow, and notes that some such groups may be state-sponsored, but does not directly attribute state sponsorship to Anonymous Syria Hackers.
