A listing on a cybercrime forum is claiming that Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, a national security think tank affiliated with Tel Aviv University, suffered unauthorized access to its internal research environment.

The claimed dataset is described as including Iran-related intelligence material, internal emails between researchers, WhatsApp chat exports involving named Israeli politicians, Gaza strategy papers, Iran-Russia cooperation dossiers, and weekly intelligence reviews and peer review forms from 2023 to 2025. The scale and contents of the alleged breach have not been independently verified.
