Hacktivists: A Formidable Force in the Israeli-Hamas Conflict

I’m Kym Geddes, and in this episode of 1Click2CyberChaos, Jeff Musson and I examine the Israeli-Hamas conflict through a cyber security lens with the esteemed Bob Gordon, a strategic advisor with the Canadian Cyber Threat Exchange and a former CSIS agent.
We delve into the new dimension of this conflict brought about by low-level hacks and highlight concerns that Hamas-affiliated hackers might escalate the dispute into full-fledged cyber warfare. With today's technology, distinguishing fact from fiction has become increasingly challenging, and hacktivists are piling on, facilitating, enabling, and pushing their cause. We wrap up the episode by taking stock. It’s been four years since Canada created the Centre for Cyber Security. How secure is the nation now? You may be encouraged by Bob Gordon’s assessment.
