ISRAEL STRUCK WITH 3 BILLION CYBER ATTACKS SINCE OCTOBER
July 22, 2024The Israel Defense Forces’ cloud computing network has faced over three billion cyber attacks since October 7, the officer commanding the military’s computer unit said last week, but all of the attacks were intercepted and did not cause damage.
The revelation was made by Col. Racheli Dembinsky, commander of the IDF’s Center of Computing and Information Systems (Mamram), at the “IT for IDF” conference in Rishon Lezion.
Dembinsky said the targets of the attacks included operational cloud computing used by many systems serving troops on the ground during combat to share information and locations of forces.
While Dembinsky did not say what kinds of attacks were perpetrated or how great a danger they posed, she stressed that all were blocked and no systems were at any point compromised.
Mamram, the IDF’s central computing system unit, handles the infrastructure and defense of the military’s remote servers.
