Israel accuses Iran, Palestine and Lebanon of cyber-attacks
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran and its allies from Palestine and Lebanon of “non-stop” cyber-attacks on the “vital national systems” of the country. The websites of water, power and banking sectors were also vulnerable, he stated. In the past few months, the cyber-attacks were carried out directly by Iran and through its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, he claimed. The Israeli Prime Minister did not specify the scope of the attacks, Netanyahu established a national cyber directorate in 2011 charged with guarding Israeli computer systems from disruption.
