 ❗️Iran-linked cyber groups have hacked at least 50 Israeli security cameras amid expanding digital warfront

Iranian-linked cyber groups have hacked into at least 50 security cameras across Israel since the start of the war, according to Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, with the apparent aim of monitoring missile strike impact and tracking troop movements. The incident points to growing vulnerabilities in Israel’s internal surveillance infrastructure during a period of sustained military pressure.

The directorate also reported that at least 60 Israeli companies and organizations, primarily small and medium-sized firms, were targeted in data-wiping attacks, with some losses described as irreversible. Cyber experts say multiple groups exploited outdated security systems, including unpatched firewalls, to gain access, highlighting systemic gaps despite Israel’s reputation for cyber strength.

The developments come as cyber operations intensify on both sides, with Iranian-linked groups expanding their reach across the region, while Israel has also reportedly used cyber tools to gather real-time intelligence inside Iran.
