National Cyber Directorate Warns of Fake Alert Claiming Iranian Cyberattack
Israel’s National Cyber Directorate warned that a false message has been circulating in recent hours. The fake alert claims that Reshet Bet announced people should not click on an update message for the Home Front Command app because it is supposedly part of an “Iranian cyberattack.”
The directorate said the message is not official and described it as fake. It cautioned that spreading it could cause unnecessary panic among the public. No real cyber incident was announced in the warning, only the circulation of the misleading message.
