Iran has ramped up cyberattacks on Israel during the Hamas conflict, according to Microsoft. The offensive operations began with reactive and chaotic activities but quickly expanded in scope. Iranian threat actors targeted Israel initially, but later expanded their cyberattacks to Albania, Bahrain, and the US. The collaboration between these threat actors also increased, resulting in higher effectiveness. The Iranian cyber operations aimed to destabilize and undermine Israeli security while intimidating its citizens and international supporters. Microsoft predicts that these cyberattacks will continue to increase in sophistication and collaboration in the future.
