Iran cutting off internet access to stop Israeli cyberattacks

In an alleged attempt to reduce Israel’s ability to launch the internet capacity, Iran began to suffocate civilians to the Internet and plan to completely separate from the global Internet by Tuesday night.

Fatim Mohajrani, the government spokesman, said during a recent television broadcast that speed reduction was “temporary, targeted, and controlled, aimed at facing electronic attacks,” according to the automatic translation.

Ads come in the escalating war between Iran and Israel, which erupted after Israel attacked the country on June 12, and the highly reported internet interruption. Civilians claimed that they were unable to access basic but critical telecommunications services, such as messaging applications and maps and sometimes the Internet. Cloudflare reported that two Iranian -Iranian cellular carriers went on the Internet on Tuesday, and New York Times Reports that even VPNS, which the Iranians often use to access banned sites such as Facebook and Instagram, have become more difficult to reach.

Moreover, the Iranian government urges citizens to delete WhatsApp-one of the most popular correspondence platforms in the country-claiming without any evidence that the application of the description has been reinforced by Israel to spy on its users. (WhatsApp strongly denied these claims in a statement to Associated Press.) Other reports indicate that Telegram, an application of another common correspondence in Iran, has also been banned.

Israel’s role in electronic interruptions has not been formally confirmed, but independent analysts in Netblocks noticed a significant decrease in the online traffic arising from Iran on Tuesday, starting at 5:30 pm local time. According to Tasnim, a news network of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the Iranians will continue to access the country’s national service in the country, although two Iranian officials said Times The internal frequency range can be reduced by up to 80 percent.

Israel has witnessed a 700 percent increase in electronic attacks since June 12, according to the Cyber ​​Security Company, Radware, which attributes this to the advanced piracy of the state in Iran. National security experts also warn that American companies may face “indirect” from the continuation of Cyberwarfare, and that if the United States interferes in the military conflict, Iranian infiltrators can start attacking the critical American infrastructure in revenge.
