CyberCrisis🇮🇱Israel 🇮🇷Iran 🇵🇰Pakistan15d ago

EVERY now and then there seems to emerge a vague if transient realisation in some small circles of American polity that Israel may not be their absolutely best buddy of all time ever. The issue of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 in which 34 US soldiers were killed — suppressed and spared from scrutiny as it was — pops up now and then, as it did a few days back on the anniversary of the attack when US Rep Thomas Massie brought up the attack on the floor of the US House of Representatives and spoke about how this was a deliberate and planned assault by the Israelis and not, as Israel has long argued, a case of ‘mistaken identity’.’ Survivors of the attack have long argued this, with Richard Brooks, the Liberty’s chief engineer echoing other survivors by saying “it was a deliberate attack. They knew who we were.

How a regional defence pact could deal the final blow to Israel's violent expansionism Submitted by David Hearst on Tue, 06/09/2026 - 17:40 Resistance by Iran and its allies has been the only thing stopping Israel's endless quest to seize territory and expel native populations Security forces stand guard during a rally by supporters of the Iran-backed Houthi movement, in solidarity with Lebanon, in Sanaa, Yemen, on 18 May 2026 (Mohammed Huwais/AFP) Off The brief exchange of fire between Iran and Israel was a truer statement of the balance of power that now exists between these two countries than the many spurious claims by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about having “smashed”, “destroyed” or “obliterated” the armed forces of the Islamic Republic. In firing up to 30 missiles towards Israel in retaliation against its renewed bombing of Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut, Iran broke the model that Israel had imposed on the two other ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza: namely that you cease, and we keep on firing. Furthermore, it showed that it would target northern Israel to protect a third country, Lebanon, which is also something of a first.

Introduction In the final quarter of 2025, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) observed threat actors increasingly integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate the attack lifecycle, achieving productivity gains in reconnaissance, social engineering, and malware development. This report serves as an update to our November 2025 findings regarding the advances in threat actor usage of AI tools. By identifying these early indicators and offensive proofs of concept, GTIG aims to arm defenders with the intelligence necessary to anticipate the next phase of AI-enabled threats, proactively thwart malicious activity, and continually strengthen both our classifiers and model.
