Cyber skirmishes on the margins of the Hamas-Israel war.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : [that is, Predatory Sparrow], carried out another cyberattack today, taking out a majority of the gas pumps throughout Iran.
45% : "It is worth mentioning that the attack is controlled in its impact, as 30 percent of the gas stations were left unharmed by Predatory Sparrow, and that emergency services in Iran were allegedly warned in advance through a Skype chat.
35% : "While Iran and Israel have been in intermittent low-level cyber conflict for years, that conflict seems to have intensified with the war between Hamas (an Iranian client) and Israel.
34% : Iranian media attributed the attack to Predatory Sparrow, a group Iran attributes to Israel (and about which Israel had no comment).
33% : today's cyberattack in Iran paralyzing most of the country's gas stations, it is a reminder how groups such as Predatory Sparrow are using offensive cyber capabilities to strike back at Hamas and countries that sympathize with them," Rachman wrote.
17% : The CyberAv3ngers (aligned with Iran) and Predatory Sparrow (possibly aligned with Israel but certainly aligned against Iran) have both conducted cyberattacks bearing tangentially on the war between Hamas and Israel.
