(Israel Hayom) Yoav Limor - Iran tried to hack Israel's missile-alert system over a year ago, IDF Cyber Defense Division Commander Noam Sha'ar told Israel Hayom. The cyberattack on the system that provides early warning on incoming missiles was successfully repelled. The attack was detected due to the constant monitoring of an Iranian cyber group, one of dozens run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps with a budget of over $1 billion. According to Sha'ar, Iran is constantly trying to compromise Israel's sensitive infrastructure, both inside and outside the military. His unit has foiled about 130 such attacks. "There is a nonstop Iranian effort to engage in cyberwarfare against Israel," he said.
