The tense political situation in the Middle East is also being reflected in cyberspace. Iranian television channels “Farsat” and “IRIB TV3” were temporarily taken over as a result of a cyberattack launched by Israel. During the attack, video materials calling for protests against the government were aired.
According to Iranian official sources, the attack mainly affected channels broadcast via satellite, while no such issues were observed on analog and cable networks. This indicates that some protection mechanisms in the state infrastructure were functioning.
Eyewitnesses of the incident shared videos of the cyberattack on social media. These clips showed the broadcast suddenly changing to anti-government slogans and messages.
Currently, the exact source and technical details of the incident are being investigated. Iranian authorities are evaluating the cyberattack as an assault on information security and have stated that retaliatory measures may be taken.
Experts are calling such actions a new phase of cyber warfare. The struggle within the information sphere requires serious analysis not only from a political standpoint but also in terms of global security. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
