high severity December 03, 2024 · 3 min read Unverified claim — what this is

Harel Insurance ( Shirbit Server ) Listed by Handala Ransomware Group

If you are a client of Harel Insurance, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

Shirbit was one of the largest insurance companies in the Zionist regime, which provided all cars and insurance for government employees and the Zionist military! This company was purchased by Harel in 2021 and its infrastructure was transferred to the Harel network in an interface-oriented manner! However, the Shirbit proxy server was hacked by Handala…
— from Handala’s own leak-site posting. This is the group’s claim, quoted verbatim; it is not GalaxyWarden’s reporting and has not been independently verified.

Harel Insurance ( Shirbit Server ) Listed by Handala Ransomware Group

Harel Insurance appears on the Handala ransomware group's leak site as of December 03, 2024, claiming that attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files from the Shirbit proxy server. Anyone whose insurance records, employment details, or personal information passed through Shirbit or Harel since the 2021 acquisition may be exposed.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Reported Details from the Listing

The Handala leak site states that Shirbit, once one of the largest insurance providers for cars and government employees in Israel, was acquired by Harel Insurance in 2021. Its infrastructure was integrated into the Harel network through an interface-oriented connection. The disclosure indicates the Shirbit proxy server was compromised in a ransomware attack, resulting in the theft of internal files. The listing does not quantify the number of affected records, specify exact data types beyond internal files, or disclose any ransom demand. Public reporting on the incident remains limited to the details posted by the group itself.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Insurance companies hold sensitive personal data including addresses, dates of birth, national identification numbers, policy details, payment information, and employment records. When such data is taken in a ransomware incident, it creates long-term risk because attackers rarely delete what they steal. If your car insurance, employer-provided coverage, or military-related policies were handled by Shirbit before or after its absorption into Harel, your information could now sit in an adversary's archive. December 03, 2024 marks the public confirmation of this claimed breach, meaning the clock for identity misuse has already started.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Stolen insurance files rarely exist in isolation. They frequently link names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and government identifiers that attackers can chain together with other breaches. A single exposed policy record can reveal family members, vehicle details, and workplace information that accelerate doxxing campaigns. Credential leaks tied to insurance portals or employee logins often cascade into gaming accounts, especially for children who reuse passwords or email addresses across services. These chains turn a corporate breach into personal exposure that can surface on multiple underground platforms within weeks.

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.
