Iran-linked hacker group says it will pause attacks on US

Apr 10, 2026, 04:19 GMT+1Updated: 07:57 GMT+1

A hacker group believed to be linked to Iran said it will pause cyberattacks on the United States following the ceasefire, while continuing operations against other targets, NBC News reported on Thursday.

The group, known as Handala, said on its Telegram channel that it had been instructed by senior leadership to halt overt confrontation with the US, but warned it retains the capability to target American infrastructure.

It added that its cyber operations would continue against Israel, saying the “cyber war” would not end with any military ceasefire.
