Israel-Iran Strike: Experts Warn of Escalating Cyber Conflict

A major cyber operation struck Iran during joint US–Israeli military strikes, with hackers targeting popular digital services and a widely used religious calendar app. The BadeSaba prayer app, downloaded by millions, was reportedly hacked to spread anti-government and defection messages to users, including security forces, amid the chaos. Internet connectivity in Iran dropped sharply twice during the incident, according to network analysts. Cybersecurity experts warn that this marks an escalation in the digital dimension of the conflict, with the possibility of further retaliatory cyberattacks against US, Israeli, and allied targets as tensions continue to rise.
