Claims of cyberattack on Israeli power plant found to false: Report
The HinduReports of a cyberattack on Israel’s Dorad power plant by hacktivist group known as Cyber Av3ngers were found to be false, a report from Kaspersky said. The individual behind the Cyber Av3ngers Telegram channel may also be attempting to frame Cyber Avengers as impostors” Kaspersky said. The channel shared messages that link its owners to past activities of “Cyber Avengers”, then adding information on their ideas to target Israeli critical infrastructure, including electrical and water systems. And while threat actors such as Moses Staff are still active, based on the information provided and its analysis, the Cyber Av3ngers alleged hack is recycled or repurposed from a prior security breach and is not the result of any new unauthorized access to data, Kaspersky said.
