Cyber aggression in Israel escalated Wednesday night.
Hackers infiltrated Israel’s smart billboards, posting pro-Hamas messages and images, according to cybersecurity company Check Point Software Technologies.
Israelis are receiving threatening texts on their phones and WhatsApp messages from numbers in Yemen and Afghanistan, Check Point said.
Attempts to access Israel’s industrial systems have jumped in the last day or so, said Yossi Appleboum, chief executive of cyber company Sepio.
The activity, so far unsuccessful in penetrating the networks, has come from Iran, Syria and pro-Russia hacktivist group Killnet, Appleboum said.
