Elite Squad

Elite Squad is an Iraqi self-described hacktivist group associated with anti-Israel, pro-Iran and Shia-aligned messaging, repeated DDoS claims, external website defacements and public proof-posting. Public posts use the @[redacted] channel and operator labels including Alnaaze, Professor, Prv8, Dark, Zero and Alone.

The archive contains Check-Host-backed disruption claims against Israel-linked cloud infrastructure and multiple actor-branded web alterations, including pages carrying images of Iranian leadership. These artifacts justify a bounded mapping to Network Denial of Service and External Defacement, but do not reveal the DDoS subtechnique, exploit vector, persistence or deeper server access.

A later statement says the team and its media activity were permanently shut down by order of founder Alnaaze, while a separate database channel remains referenced. Current operational continuity is therefore uncertain: the identity may be inactive, fragmented or capable of reappearing under successor branding.
