After Bennett: a senior officer at Check Point warns of cyber attack attempts against Israel

Messing also said: “It doesn’t matter that we are good at protecting the surrounding area if there are holes in which we fall. We have to realize – this is war. In the physical dimension we would not neglect it, and the fact is that we don’t do it here. I don’t feel that we as a country take the war between us and a country that is a cyber power seriously enough.”

About that group of Iranian hackers, Messing said that “this particular group is not telling the full truth, but it is not lying, and you can say with certainty that something happened.”

Messing added: “They were certainly looking for Bennett, but they weren’t just looking for Bennett. They are trying to reach every high-profile person in Israel. The range starts with people in defense industries and ends with heads of government. We have been in a real cyber war with Iran for years. Just as we are allegedly collecting information about them, they are collecting information about us. Messing believes that not all of Naftali Bennett’s personal information has been revealed, and this is not good news for him. I am not a member of the ranks Positivity for Bennett and his people. If they really reached very sensitive findings, they will wait with the significant publications.”

Messing claims that this cyber war is worthwhile for the Iranians: “They manage to obtain information that in a different content world they would have had to send spies or agents and not necessarily succeed.”
