The scale and complexity of Saturday’s attacks by Hamas and increasing Israel-Palestine tensions have transformed into tragic war actions which in turn have shocked leaders, business communities and people across the world. Resecurity strongly opposes any war activity despite its origin and motive. We support all colleagues, partners and their families who are facing these tragic events, and we hope for a peaceful resolution to the current situation as soon as possible.
Cyberspace has responded to this activity with accelerated malicious cyber activity. Interestingly, the core component is clearly visible after the collection of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) from the Dark Web and OSINT sources - an ongoing psychological operation (PSYOP) leveraging sensitive geopolitical narratives enabling other parties capitalize on it. The question here is - Who is behind this activity and who is profiting from it? Obviously, the answers to those questions are one of the most challenging for the international Intelligence Community (IC).
