In a recent video released by hackers, parts of PowerPoint presentations can be seen, including IDF personalities and presentations with the logo of the General Staff’s wings. However, it is unclear if the documents in the video are authentic. The IDF’s computer system is completely closed and classified in varying levels of severity, with security officials estimating that the chance of a breach is low to zero. It is possible that this is “psychological warfare” by the hackers.
Meanwhile, Anonymous claimed at the beginning of the month to have breached the Ministry of Justice and obtained 8 million data files totaling 300 gigabytes, including personal details of those on the lists. Some hackers from Anonymous have threatened to continue “destroying Zionists.” The National Cyber System has warned against an expected wave of attacks in the wake of Ramadan and increasing hostility towards Israel and its online presence.
The fear is that hackers will launch attacks on websites, digital systems, leak sensitive information, implant surveillance software, and hack into computers. The public in Israel has been advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links and report any suspected attacks. This comes amidst various online content related to slot games, online gambling, and certification verifications, among other topics.
