Israel Defense Forces has been the target of more than three billion cyberattacks since Oct. 7, according to Col. Racheli Dembinsky, commander of the IDF’s Center of Computing and Information Systems (Mamram)
The attacks were all intercepted and no damage was done to any computer systems, Dembinsky added while speaking at the “IT for IDF” conference in Rishon Lezion on Wednesday.
The targets included operational cloud computing used by many systems serving troops on the ground during combat to share information and locations of forces.
Cyberattacks were also carried out against Israel on Oct. 7, when Palestinian terrorists invaded southern Israel, killed 1,200 people and abducted more than 250 into Gaza.
“I received a phone call that morning and thought there was a malfunction in the alert system. I quickly understood there wasn’t a malfunction, but a broader attack,” Debinsky recalled.
