2026 — Alleged 2M-record settlers database leak (Iraqi hacker claims; March 22–23 X/Twitter surge)

March 22–23, 2026: posts on X/Twitter and Arabic-language accounts went viral describing an alleged release of a large database on Israeli settlers—framed by some posters as roughly two million records—attributed in social copy to Iraqi hackers and described as a geopolitical hack-and-leak style operation. Narratives referenced personal details and psychological-warfare framing; prominent figures’ phone numbers were mentioned in some posts. No authoritative Israeli government confirmation or denial was widely cited in the same social threads at the time of indexing, and mainstream independent verification of the full dataset size or contents was limited. Treat as alleged; record count reflects activist/claimant figures, not a confirmed breach notification.
