Cybersecurity threats in Israel are mounting amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Cybersecurity threats in Israel are mounting amid the Israel-Hamas war, including two hijacked smart billboards that briefly showed pro-Hamas content, and a cyberattack on a college that published hundreds of thousands of personal records.
On Monday, a hacker group claiming to be from Jordan breached the system of Ono Academic College, a school near Tel Aviv, and published about 250,000 records of employees, students and more on Telegram. "We had to open the network for a few minutes, and they must've immediately penetrated it in that moment," Eilon Rosman, CEO of CTV Media Israel, the company that owned the two billboards, told the media outlet Geektime on Thursday, according to a CNBC translation.
More than 40 groups are currently attempting, or say they're attempting, cyber attacks, Messing said, adding that these threats aren't uncommon and sometimes don't come to anything."These people are threatening, not necessarily executing," Messing said. Later, he added,"The motivation is more about creating fear and discomfort, not so much about creating damage that is significant.
