Escalating Cyberattacks Emerge Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict has extended into cyberspace, with a significant surge in cyberattacks affecting both nations. Pro-Israel hackers have claimed responsibility for extensive disruptive cyber operations against major Iranian banks, notably targeting Bank Sepah, which has faced severe service outages and data destruction. In response, Iran is on high alert, declaring a full cyber defense readiness as Iranian cyber activity against Israeli critical infrastructure has reportedly spiked by 700%. Meanwhile, U.S. officials are concerned that the conflict could spill over into threats against American infrastructure. As tensions heighten, both sides are engaged in a digital battlefield, raising fears of a broader impact on global cybersecurity.
