Cybersecurity Risks Rise Amid US-Israeli Strikes and Middle East Tensions

Following recent US-Israeli strikes on Iran, cybersecurity experts warn of increased digital threats globally and to India. Cyberattacks targeted Iranian government services, military infrastructure, and popular apps like BadeSaba, causing significant internet disruptions. Experts caution that India may face spillover risks from Iranian-aligned groups, including attacks on critical infrastructure such as power grids, telecom networks, and financial systems. The heightened cyber activity reflects broader geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with potential retaliatory actions by proxy groups and hacktivists.
