Israel Works to Thwart Iran's Cyber Operations
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) Chief Gabi Portnoy said Tuesday, "The Israeli cyber community knows Iran's cyber operations inside-out and works to thwart it in many ways. Iran's intelligence personnel, the IRGC and Hizbullah who are involved in cyber operations against Israel, know exactly what I am talking about." "Two key players in Iranian intelligence, Farazin Karimi and Majteba Matzafi...set up the Radwan Academic Group, which trains hackers for bad purposes." Ali Hidari operates out of Beirut and "coordinates cyber operations between Iran and Hizbullah, which causes harm to the Lebanese civilian sector." Portnoy called on top international cyber officials to work together to stop Iranian and Hizbullah hackers "from their attacks on the world."
