Iran launched waves of cyber attacks against key Israeli companies after Oct. 7 massacre: Report

Iranian hacking groups launched cyber attacks against key Israeli companies in the wake of the October 7 massacre by Hamas last month, according to a new report.

Hackers linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted Israeli companies with ties to transporation, logistics and technology, according to a Thursday report from the Messenger. The hacks have largely taken the form of site outages, but they have also attempted to wipe data from Israeli computers.

The hacking efforts have yet to yield any major successes for Iran, but it is yet another threat posted by the Middle East power.

The U.S. has sought to deter Iran and its proxy terrorist organizations from joining Israel's war against Hamas, deploying an array of assets to the Eastern Mediterranean and Iraq and Syria.
