During the week of November 6 to November 12, 2024, a significant surge in cyberattacks was reported, with 196 incidents occurring across 37 countries. The United States was identified as the most affected nation, accounting for 55% of the attacks. The primary threat actor during this period was a group known as Nam3L3ss, which claimed responsibility for leaking data from 25 companies. In a related incident, a cyberattack targeting payment systems in Israel disrupted card readers in stores and gas stations. Additionally, a Hamas-affiliated group, WIRTE, has escalated its cyber operations, employing the SameCoin wiper malware to conduct disruptive attacks against Israel, moving beyond traditional espionage tactics to include phishing campaigns and other forms of cyber warfare.
