Hackers associated with Hamas, the Islamist militant group that rules the Gaza Strip, are combining new malware with a timeless trick in an espionage campaign against Palestinian officials, private-sector researchers said Thursday. Like many attackers before them, they’re sending emails on enticing topics, ranging from the U.S. killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani to the Trump administration’s Middle East peace proposal. The messages come with malicious PDF files that contain a new remote access trojan (RAT), code that gives them a foothold onto a computer, according to Boston-based security company Cybereason. The hackers have in recent weeks attempted to breach carefully selected targets associated with the Palestinian government in the West Bank, the researchers said.

Israel Defense Forces announced Sunday it had launched airstrikes on a building allegedly housing a number of Hamas soldiers that were preparing to launch a cyberattack against Israel. The IDF, which launched the airstrike jointly with the Israel Security Authority, did not detail the alleged cyberattack and other offensive capabilities Hamas was developing but it said it had neutralized the attack before launching the airstrikes. The incident marks the first time a government has publicly announced it has immediately responded to a cyberattack by launching a “kinetic attack,” a military term that describes the use of lethal force. Although this marks a first in cyberwarfare, Paul Rosenzweig, a former deputy assistant secretary for policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, tells CyberScoop it’s not a surprising outcome. “We mistakenly tend to think that the cyber domain exists apart from the physical world, but it doesn’t,” Rosenzweig, a senior fellow at […]
