Israeli light rail company hit in cyberattack amid Iranian reports of ‘metro hack’

[IsraelTimes] Denial of service, said to cause no lasting damage, is latest apparent salvo in Israel-Iran
 ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...

The company building the light rail network for the Tel Aviv area said Monday that its website was temporarily disrupted by a foreign cyberattack, as Iranian media reported that pro-regime hackers managed to infiltrate the servers of the "Israel Metro."
Israel’s NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd said in a statement that "a glitch was detected" Monday morning on its website and that an examination determined that it had fallen victim to a denial-of-service [DoS] attack from abroad. NTA said it managed to regain control of the website and that it had sustained no lasting damages.
Iranian media reports, which all cited an unsourced report on the Sabereen News Telegram channel, said the "massive" cyberattack targeted the operating systems and servers of the "Israel Metro." Israel’s Channel 12 reported that this led to ridicule online, as Israel has no underground train system.
The attack came just a day after a similar one disrupted operations of the websites belonging to Iran’s official culture and media offices, Channel 12 reported, clarifying that Iranian opposition activist muppets had grabbed credit and that it was not tied to Israel.
Last week, a large cyberattack forced the Iranian state-owned Khuzestan Steel Co. to halt production, and two other major steel producers also reported being targeted.
An anonymous hacking group grabbed credit on social media for the attack, saying it had targeted Iran’s three biggest steel companies in response to the "aggression of the Islamic Theocratic Republic ."
Israeli military correspondents, who are regularly briefed off-the-record by senior Israeli officials, hinted that Israel was directly responsible for the steel company assault in retaliation to a suspected cyberattack that caused rocket sirens to be heard in Jerusalem and Eilat last week.
Earlier in June, Israeli communications firms were instructed to bolster cybersecurity, as the government rolled out a new initiative to guard the country against online attacks amid an uptick in hacks targeting Israeli websites.
Under the reform, Israel’s major communications companies are required to implement detailed plans for identifying and preventing future cyberattacks targeting communication networks. The companies now need to adhere to unified standards.
