Israel Counters Iranian Cyberattacks
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Four years ago, specialists at the Israel Security Agency discovered a carefully planned cyber offensive against Israel by one of the country's most sophisticated adversaries (usually a euphemism for Iran). The enemy had been "deployed" at several sensitive nodes of Israel's communications layout. The agency let them continue to operate while counter-spying until they learned their identities and even hours of work. During a prolonged holiday, they eliminated the threat and activated a counterattack, revealing the attackers' details to communities of hackers.
