Inside Iran’s cyberwar against Israel as it tries to sow dissent and gain military intelligence

siteadmin November 3, 2023

Iran is launching a covert social media campaign to create division and instability in Israel. The campaign includes creating fake social media profiles to spread disinformation and offering financial rewards for information about military commanders and weapon locations. The campaign reportedly uses sophisticated cyber attacks that sabotage physical infrastructure, such as water controllers on farms and digital control panels in homes. These activities come amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with concerns that the conflict may extend to involve Iranian proxies like Hezbollah.
