The attacks not only aimed at disrupting operations but also focused on intelligence gathering, targeting engineering firms and critical infrastructure. The National Cyber Directorate has dealt with over 4,000 reports since the war began, half involving social engineering. Despite successful defenses, Karadi warned that cyberattacks will continue even if ground conflicts subside, citing increased attacks following past ceasefires.
