AN IRAN-linked hacker group has breached FBI drones and threatened to target the World Cup team buses this week, its members have claimed.

The Handala syndicate said it has had access to a wide range of American surveillance drone footage and imagery “for months”, according to a monitoring group.

The SITE Intelligence Group – who monitor jihadist organisations – said Handala released a statement which claimed they had access to “every image and every suspect” captured by the FBI’s first-person view (FPV) drones.

The hackers said the drones featured facial recognition and license plate screening deployed for counter-terrorism.

Handala reportedly said in their warning: “Better tighten your World Cup security, we don’t like some of those teams at all.

“Don’t forget: FPVs are everywhere; you never know when one might end up right in your team’s bus.”
