Israel, Iran Locked in Escalating Cyber War
(The Hill) Cory Bennett - Israel has made "dramatic" advancements in its offensive cyber capabilities over the past 5-7 years, said Tom Kellermann, chief cybersecurity officer at the security research firm Trend Micro. The Israeli military collects information on the layout of Iran's nuclear program, works to dismantle Iran's Internet restrictions, and tries to enable the flow of information to dissenters in the country, Kellermann said. Israel has also infiltrated Iran's infrastructure with dormant "disruptive capabilities" that could be activated at any time.
