This story serves as a stark reminder of the growing threat posed by Iran and its proxy terrorist organizations. A new report has revealed that Iranian hacking groups have begun to target Israeli companies in alarming cyber attacks.
On October 7th, following a massacre by Hamas, Iranian hacking groups launched cyber attacks against key Israeli companies with ties to transportation, logistics and technology. These hacks have largely been taking form of site outages but they have also attempted to wipe data from Israeli computers.
However, so far these efforts have not yielded any major successes for Iran.

In light of these events, it’s clear that Iran is increasingly demonstrating an ability to cause disruption in other nations through cyber-attacks – something which must be taken seriously if it is to be stopped.
In order to deter this behavior from continuing further, the U.S has deployed an array of assets including ones sent to Iraq and Syria as well as those based in Eastern Mediterranean regions.
It remains unclear what will happen if Iran continues its hostile activities however one thing is certain: America will need to take action if it aims to prevent further conflict in this region caused by cyber warfare tactics employed by Iran or its proxies.
This news comes soon after FBI Director Christopher Wray offered a warning to the United States regarding possible cyber attacks, stating, “The cyber targeting of American interests and critical infrastructure that we already see conducted by Iran and non-state actors alike we can expect to get worse if the conflict expands, as will the threat of kinetic attacks.”
Now we are worried about Iran and Cyber attacks?https://t.co/Y85rGf2Uxy
