""This was sent to people while they were running to shelters to defend themselves. The fact it's synced and at the same minute ... is a first.""
""The digital fight is likely to persist even if a ceasefire is reached, because it's a lot easier and cheaper than conventional conflict and because it is designed not to kill or conquer, but to spy, steal and frighten.""

Iran has launched a cyber operation that coincided with missile strikes on Israel, sending fake texts to Android users that downloaded spyware. This tactic demonstrates a blend of digital and physical warfare, showcasing Iran's use of disinformation and hacking. Experts note that these cyberattacks, while high in volume, have caused relatively minor damage but have forced U.S. and Israeli companies to enhance their security. The ongoing digital conflict is expected to continue due to its cost-effectiveness and non-lethal nature.
