IDF’s Secret Cyber Unit Claims It Helped Thwart Attack on US Power Plants_我的网站
A | Unit 8200, a secretive IDF intelligence formation responsible for collecting signal intelligence, has claimed to have helped thwart an attempted attack on the US power network.,In a rare briefing in Tel Aviv University on Wednesday, Unit 8200 deputy director, known only as ‘Colonel U’, said that a mysterious “adversary” that had “attacked Israel” using cyber means, and that in the process of stopping the attack, “we also found that they were attempting to target US power plants as well.”,“This was the first indication of this attack. It enabled preventing this threat, through tight collaboration with our fantastic American partners,” Colonel U said.,The officer did not specify when the reported attack took place, who was responsible, or any other information about the purported incident. He recalled however than another “adversary,” Iran, had similarly “attack water facilities in Israel,” and that that threat had also been “mitigated” before it could cause any damage. Israeli and US media had reported on the attempted attack on the Jewish State’s water utilities in May 2020.,“Like it or not, we work in quite a tough neighborhood, this leads to ongoing high friction in a dynamic and intense environment. We have new challenges each day. When we succeed we save lives. When we fail this becomes a major problem for our nation,” Colonel U said.,Israel Reportedly Suspects Iranian Cyberattack Triggered False Siren Alerts on Sunday 21 June, 04:08 GMT,Unit 8200 members received state awards for their reported involvement in a 2020 attack on Iranian port infrastructure, and former employees of the force were implicated in last year’s Pegasus spy scandal –involving the installation of military-grade zero-click spyware on the phones of tens of thousands of VIPs, including senior government officials, business executives, activists and journalists.,Israel and Iran have waged a long-running covert cyberwar going back at least to the 2010 Stuxnet attack on Iranian nuclear installations, including the Natanz uranium enrichment plant and its nuclear centrifuges. The two countries have subsequently accused one another of targeting a range of virtual and physical infrastructure, from government websites and servers to real-world facilities like gas stations, ports, utilities, and power plants.,Last week, Israel accused Iranian hackers of triggering false siren alerts in Eilat and Jerusalem by accessing and activating the IDF Home Front Command’s alert system.,In March, Israeli media reported that the country experienced its “largest-ever cyberattack” involving the targeting of Israeli government websites shortly after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps cyber command announced that it had stopped a cyber sabotage attempt against the Fordow nuclear enrichment facility.,Last October, Israeli officials reported that a suspected Iranian hacking group known as ‘Moses Staff’ had breached 165 Israeli servers and hundreds of websites, amassing 11 terabytes of sensitive data, including the personal information of Defense Minister Benny Gantz and military officials, IDF operational planning maps, and correspondence. The same month, Tehran accused the “Zionist regime” and its allies of a massive hack attack which temporarily crippled Iran’s entire gas station network.,IDF, US Cyber Units Hold Mysterious Joint Drills to Ensure ‘Cyber Network Superiority’19 December 2021, 13:05 GMT。 MEXICO CITY -- Mexican court employees said Wednesday they will go on strike from Thursday through Tuesday to protest proposed funding cuts, threatening an already creaky court system.President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has proposed cutting funds for the judicial branch, arguing that judges make too much money and often protect criminals.The court employees’ union denied that its members — which include employees like typists and bailiffs — are overpaid, and said the cuts would affect them. Mexican courts have never been known for their speed or efficiency. One court recently handed down sentences against five soldiers in the 2010 killing of two university students, after legal proceedings that lasted almost 13 years.Despite some reforms, such multiyear trials are not uncommon in Mexico. That has contributed to the controversy surrounding López Obrador's push to require more suspects to stay in jail pending trials that may last years, even if they end in acquittal.Nor is it unusual for López Obrador to quarrel with other branches of government, especially the judiciary.López Obrador regularly criticizes judges by name for court rulings he doesn't like, accusing them of corruption or political bias. The president has also proposed reforming the constitution to make top court seats elected positions.。
