Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, a new battleground has opened up in cyberspace, with hackers from both sides trying to attack each other’s infrastructure, while also dragging supporters of each other into the conflict.
“Analysts have noted public instances of DDoS attacks, website defacements, and increased dark web discussions from various threat actor groups,” said Ian Gray, vice president of cyber threat intelligence operations at Flashpoint. “Ongoing physical conflict within the region is likely to attract additional hacktivist groups that are either ideologically, politically, or opportunistically supporting either Israel or Palestine.”
