According to sources close to the organization, electronic breaches were discovered on the phones and computers belonging to the group, its leadership, and those close to it.

These breaches aimed at spying on the Brotherhood’s leaders and obtaining information stored on their phones. Other breaches were carried out to steal bank accounts and funds, as well as to hack social media accounts of the organization’s members and leaders.

These breaches are part of a series of repeated incidents over the past periods, which led to the exposure of confidential information about the Brotherhood and its leadership. Discussions held by the Brotherhood‘s leaders during their meetings, as well as in their private groups on the “WhatsApp” app, were also compromised.
The repeated cyber breaches targeting the phones and devices of the group’s members and leaders have caused internal disagreements. A faction aligned with the Istanbul group (led by Mahmoud Hussein) accused the leaders of the London group (currently led by Salah Abdelhaq) of contributing to the capture of Brotherhood members by Egyptian security forces through the use of unsecured communication methods. They also claimed that the London group’s leaders made mistakes that enabled Egyptian security forces to arrest key members of the organization.
