If you are a customer of Clalit, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Clalit: Israel’s Largest Healthcare Organization Falls to Cyber Resistance Listed by Handala Ransomware Group

On February 25, 2026, Clalit, Israel’s largest healthcare organization, confirmed that attackers had exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware operation claimed by the Handala group. The breach affects an organization that serves millions of patients, meaning sensitive personal and medical records linked to you or your family may now be in the hands of an organized cyber group.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting on the Handala leak site describes the incident as part of an operation the group named “Justice for the Oppressed.” The attackers state they penetrated Clalit’s network and removed internal files. No exact victim count has been released, and the precise volume or categories of data remain unclear from available reporting. The group published proof of access and samples on its leak site hosted via ransomware.live.

February 25, 2026 marks the public disclosure date. Clalit has not yet issued a detailed list of exposed record types, but healthcare organizations typically hold names, addresses, national ID numbers, medical histories, and billing information. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that healthcare breaches frequently expose exactly this combination of data.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a major healthcare provider is breached, the information stolen is among the most permanent and damaging. Unlike a credit card number, your medical records and national identifiers cannot be reissued. If your family uses Clalit or any affiliated clinic, your data may already be circulating among threat actors who trade or weaponize it for identity theft, insurance fraud, or targeted harassment.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
