A wave of pro-Hamas hacking attacks has targeted Israeli sites amid the conflict, adding a cyber dimension. Early preparation by Palestinians included Gaza group Storm-1133 hitting Israeli energy, defense and telecom firms. Supporters from Middle East nations have also started attacking Indian government websites after India backed Israel. Indian threat intel provider Falconfeeds found over 100 small non-governmental sites defaced daily. Some government sites hit were Punjab, NITI Aayog, Karnataka Bank, Haryana govt, Income Tax department and Tamil Nadu govt. Hacker groups included TIGER_CYBER_TEAM, MOROCCAN_BLACK_CYBER_ARMY, TEAMHEROX and others. The attacks underscore pro-Palestinian cyber operations against Israeli and Indian targets.
