Edalat-e Ali is a hacktivist group focused on exposing abuses and internal operations of the Iranian state. The group is known for compromising Iranian government and state-linked systems and publicly releasing sensitive materials to embarrass authorities, document repression, and challenge official narratives. Reported operations attributed to Edalat-e Ali include breaches involving prison surveillance systems and large-scale theft and disclosure of Iranian judiciary records, including sensitive state documents. The group’s activity indicates a concentration on Iranian domestic security, justice, and prison institutions. Its operations have involved unauthorized access to internal systems, acquisition and exfiltration of sensitive data, and public disclosure of stolen information for political effect. The actor has demonstrated capability in initial access, post-exploitation, persistence sufficient to obtain internal records or surveillance footage, and exfiltration of high-value data from state environments. The pattern of victimology and publication behavior is consistent with hacktivist objectives rather than financially motivated cybercrime. Edalat-e Ali has been associated with disclosures concerning Evin and Ghezel Hesar prison CCTV systems and with the release of millions of judiciary files in 2024. The group has also served as a publication channel for leaked Iranian state security material. Available information supports characterization as an anti-regime hacktivist actor targeting Iranian government entities and security-related institutions.
