Executive Summary

God's Gladiators has published new information about its so-called “Long Hands” operation and identified the Municipality of Firmat, in Argentina’s Santa Fe Province, as one of the targets of a campaign the actor claims has been active for more than a month.

The publication represents an evolution from the threat documented by iQBlack on September 12. At that stage, God's Gladiators had threatened to expose information obtained from Argentine organizations but had not publicly identified any victims or presented material that could be used to assess its claims.

The actor has now accompanied its message with samples that appear to originate from municipal administrative systems and issued a political ultimatum: it claims that all obtained information will be released unless Argentina severs relations with Israel within the announced deadline.

The samples examined by iQBlack provide stronger support for the actor’s possession of information associated with Firmat, but they do not yet establish the initial access vector, the extent of the compromise, or validate the complete dataset God's Gladiators claims to have obtained.

From a General Threat to an Identified Victim

The actor’s previous publication had placed Argentina within an explicit narrative of geopolitical confrontation and claimed that the results of approximately one month of activity would soon become visible.

The new communication introduces a specific target for the first time within that sequence: Firmat, a city in Santa Fe Province whose municipal administration provides public services and procedures through digital infrastructure. The official municipal portal remained operational at the time of this review and continued publishing recent municipal activity.

God's Gladiators claims to have accessed identity information, judicial documentation, payment orders, internal invoices, salary data, bank account information, and municipal credentials.

The samples provided to iQBlack do not confirm all of those categories. They do, however, contain elements that are consistent with administrative environments.

One of the files contains structured records of accounting activity, including dates, ledger entries, and references associated with municipal operations and revenue. Another contains a user structure including identifiers, access types, email addresses, and a password field containing visible values, which is consistent with the actor’s claim that some credentials were stored without adequate protection.

A third sample contains references to current accounts associated with several financial institutions within an accounting structure labeled “Estado Disponibilidades”. For security reasons, iQBlack does not reproduce the exposed account numbers.

These elements do not directly prove that God's Gladiators compromised the Municipality’s current infrastructure, nor do they establish when or by what method the information was obtained. They do, however, reduce the uncertainty surrounding the previous publication: the actor is no longer presenting only a future threat, but structured material that appears to be associated with Firmat’s administrative systems.

“Long Hands” Introduces a Logic of Political Coercion

The most significant element of the publication goes beyond data exposure.

God's Gladiators presents “Long Hands” as an operation directed against Argentine government infrastructure and attributes its motivation to the national government’s foreign policy decisions. The message also uses antisemitic language, collectively blames the Argentine population for electoral decisions, and issues an explicit call against the government of President Javier Milei.

The rhetoric maintains the geopolitical line observed in August and September, but now introduces a concrete mechanism of pressure: the threat to release municipal information in an attempt to influence a national foreign policy decision.

The actor sets a ten-day deadline and links the potential full release of the data to a demand that Argentina sever relations with Israel.

This transforms the announced exposure into a form of data-driven coercion. The municipality appears as the immediate technical victim, while the political audience the actor seeks to influence is considerably broader.

The statement does not demonstrate that God's Gladiators has any real ability to influence state decisions, nor does it establish that the actor holds additional access to Argentine government infrastructure. It is, above all, evidence of declared intent and communication strategy.

The Samples Change the Assessment, but Do Not Resolve the Questions

The new evidence partially changes the assessment made four days earlier.

It is no longer sufficient to describe the episode solely as political intimidation accompanied by technical claims without public evidence. God's Gladiators has now identified a victim and presented extracts that appear to correspond to administrative information associated with it.

However, there remains a substantial difference between possessing records and demonstrating a broad infrastructure compromise.

The samples do not establish whether access remains active, whether the information came from a single system, whether it was obtained directly from municipal infrastructure, whether an external provider was involved, or whether part of the material originated from historical repositories.

At the time of this review, there was also no visible communication on Firmat’s official portal that would allow the actor’s account to be publicly compared with an institutional assessment of the incident.

Analytical Closing

The sequence observed since August shows a clear progression in God's Gladiators’ public activity against Argentina.

First came a threat directed at the president. The actor then claimed to have spent approximately one month operating against Argentine databases. It has now identified Firmat, presented samples of information, and is using the threat of full disclosure as a pressure mechanism tied to a political decision that extends far beyond the affected municipality.

The existence of material apparently associated with Firmat strengthens the assessment that God's Gladiators possesses information beyond its own propaganda narrative, but it still does not validate the scope the actor attributes to “Long Hands”. 

Firmat may ultimately prove to be an isolated incident or the first publicly identified component of a broader campaign.
