Hacktivists have claimed responsibility for DDoS and defacement attacks on Israeli websites during the Israel-Hamas conflict. Researchers warn of more impactful attacks being attempted. Pro-Palestinian hacktivist groups, as well as the pro-Russian threat group Killnet, are involved in claiming attacks. More sophisticated attacks, including exploiting an API vulnerability and targeting industrial control systems, have also been reported. Cybersecurity experts urge caution when believing cyber-criminal chatter and expect Israeli organizations to be heavily targeted. Mitigating DDoS attacks and securing social media accounts are crucial. #Hacktivism #IsraelHamas #DDoSattacks #Cybersecurity
