Hamas is using social engineering cyberattacks to monitor Israeli civilians, Tech Monitor has been told. It is thought the militant group is using the phones of Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza to access and monitor online communities set up in the wake of its surprise attacks last weekend.
Other successful cyberattacks on Israel's infrastructure include hacking the Red Alert emergency alert system, which warns citizens of bombing in the area, and a DDoS attack on newspaper the Jerusalem Post.
