IDF: No serious risk, ‘psychological warfare’ tactic by hackers
According to the estimates of Israeli Armed Forces security experts, the likelihood of an actual breach in the IDF’s records is minimal, suggesting a possible “psychological warfare” tactic by the hackers.
“Armed Forces computer systems are well secured and classified at various levels. If a breach did occur, it is unlikely that access would extend directly to IDF computers. On the contrary, files may have been obtained from civilian computers, potentially violating the regulations” Israeli army experts estimate
