The escalating tensions between Iran and Israel have led to an unprecedented surge in hacktivist cyber operations, targeting Israeli government systems, energy infrastructure, financial institutions, and defense contractors. The attacks have compromised critical systems across multiple sectors, including water treatment facilities, satellite communications, judicial systems, and emergency alert networks. The hacktivists have demonstrated capabilities to compromise industrial control systems, deploy custom ransomware, and conduct psychological warfare through targeted doxxing campaigns.
