war between Israel and HamasPolitically motivated hackers often target state-backed organizations and groups in an effort to complicate war efforts.about what role, if any, political hackers should have during wartime — and that conversation is now spilling into the fight between Israel and Hamas.Political hacking takes a variety of forms, Michael Daniel, president and CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance, told Axios.
Some groups are closely connected with their home governments and strike only targets that the government has either directed or strongly suggested the groups hit, said Daniel, who is also a former Obama White House cyber official.Some countries with fewer digital resources are eager to tap into their citizens' hacking prowess when engaging in active military conflict.
When Ukraine found itself at war with Russia, one of the world's cyber superpowers, the Ukrainian government used every resource at its disposal, including civilian hackers. "You can argue until you're blue in the face about the bad precedent that it sets," Daniel said. "I'm just not sure that's very persuasive to people who are in the middle of a hot shooting war."Encouraging civilian hackers to participate in active military conflicts could embolden them and lead to unintended consequences.
"The only way to really do this is to set an example and try to lead by example," he said. "It's just going to become part of the conflict landscape."Share on linkedin
