 Iran Hacking Security Cameras Across Israel To Improve Missile Accuracy

An Israeli official told US media this week that the interception rate of Tel Aviv’s air defenses decreased by 25 percent over two days

Iran has been hacking into private security cameras across Israel to gather intelligence and improve the accuracy of missile strikes.

Israeli cyber security experts cited by Bloomberg on 20 June confirmed the Islamic Republic’s use of cyber espionage.

“We know that in the past two or three days, the Iranians have been trying to connect to cameras to understand what happened and where their missiles hit to improve their precision,” said Refael Franco, the former deputy director general of the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD).

A spokesman for INCD said, “We’ve seen attempts throughout the war, and those attempts are being renewed now.”

Gaby Portnoy, another INCD official, said hacking of security cameras was also carried out by Hamas ahead of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in October 2023.

These cyber operations took place over the years, according to Portnoy, who also noted Russia’s use of the method during the war in Ukraine.

Earlier this week, a former Israeli cybersecurity official warned Israelis on a radio broadcast to turn off all home security cameras or change their passwords.

Cyberwarfare has emerged as a leading tactic in many world conflicts and is particularly used very commonly by Israel, which is known for its infamous spyware software and hackers.

An Israel-linked hacking organization called Predatory Sparrow recently claimed responsibility for disrupting a major Iranian bank and breaching an Iranian cryptocurrency exchange, causing the disappearance of about $90 million worth of bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency.

Iranian authorities and media outlets have warned over the past few days that the country has been subject to widespread Israeli cyberattacks.

Iran has implemented a nationwide internet blackout as a result, in an effort to stifle Israel’s efforts. According to Tasnim news agency, this blackout has managed to disable drones launched internally against Iran by agents affiliated with Israeli intelligence.

As Iran steps up its warfare, the accuracy of missile strikes has improved. A single Iranian ballistic missile struck the Beersheba area on Friday morning. Israeli air defenses were unable to intercept it.
