The National Cyber Directorate warned Wednesday that coordinated attacks against Israel are expected next month to mark Iran’s annual Quds Day, and the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The actions, expected to come around May 7 and to be coordinated by anti-Israel hackers around the world under the banner “#OPJerusalem,” will seek to spread propaganda messages by way of website corruption, text messages and attacks aimed at grabbing public attention, the directorate said in a statement.
“The directorate again warns organizations about attackers’ use of common current vulnerabilities and calls on them to implement the relevant security updates as soon as possible,” the statement said.
