Hamas-Linked WIRTE Expands Cyber Activities Against Israel

WIRTE, a Hamas-linked APT group, remains active despite regional conflict, targeting Middle Eastern entities and conducting disruptive attacks on Israel. Using tools like IronWind and the SameCoin wiper, WIRTE combines espionage with destabilization tactics. Their campaigns exploit HTML-based malware communication, user-agent filtering, and redirection to legitimate sites. The group’s target focus and propaganda content strongly align WIRTE with Hamas’s political and operational interests.
