Foreign hacktivists impersonate Home Front Command to infiltrate Israeli phones

A pro-Palestinian hacktivist group from Iran has successfully sent mass SMS messages to thousands of Israelis, often posing as communications from Home Front Command. Experts warn that interacting with these messages, such as clicking on links or installing apps, could lead to spyware being installed on users' phones, increasing the risk of tracking.
