Iran-linked hackers launch wave of cyberattacks on Israel

There has been a surge in cyber threats against Israel since it launched a war against Iran, with hacker groups linked to Tehran mounting a wave of attacks against Israeli infrastructure and defence firms.

Hawzah News Agency - The data indicate a "significant escalation in malicious network activity targeting Israeli infrastructure," it said, according to The Jerusalem Post.

"The 700% surge in malicious activity within just two days stems from cyber retaliation operations by Iranian state actors and pro-Iranian hacker groups, including DDoS attacks, infiltration attempts targeting critical infrastructure, data theft, and malware distribution campaigns'', said Ron Meyran, Radware's vice president of cyber threat intelligence.

Cyber threat intelligence firm Falcon Feeds has identified more than 150 groups involved in mounting attacks against Israel and Iran, with more than 100 targeting Israeli infrastructure.
