As tensions escalate following direct military confrontations in mid-June 2025, the cyber domain has once again become a parallel battleground. While no new threat actor groups have emerged, a surge in activity from familiar hacktivist collectives has put organizations in the crosshairs—especially through disruptive DDoS campaigns and digital propaganda.
The Landscape: No New Names, Just Louder Noise
Unlike past episodes that introduced new cyber actors into the mix, this phase is different. We’re not witnessing a shift in threat actor identities—but we are seeing renewed energy and increased coordination among long-standing hacktivist groups.
Notable UAE DDoS Campaigns Linked to the Tensions:

What’s Actually Happening in Cyberspace?
We’re primarily seeing:
- DDoS attacks targeting government, media, and financial institutions.
- Disinformation campaigns, including fake SMS alerts and misleading social media narratives.
- Website defacements tied to ideological messages.
Despite the noise, these campaigns remain technically simplistic. However, their volume and timing suggest an intent to overwhelm, distract, and polarize rather than cause deep or lasting damage.
This is not a full-scale cyber conflict—but it’s a cyber campaign with a purpose: to influence perception, disrupt routine, and show ideological strength. Whether you’re a regional target or a global observer, ignoring these signals is no longer an option.
Stay alert. Harden your perimeter.
And remember in the digital theater of conflict, silence doesn’t mean safety.
