While bombs fall from the sky, the digital war keeps hitting in silence. It makes no noise, but strikes everywhere: banks, railways, steel plants, gas stations. And behind many of these attacks, the same name keeps surfacing: Predatory Sparrow.
A group born in 2021. Sophisticated, surgical, ruthless. No ransom. No data theft. Just pure sabotage. Like Bank Sepah, hit days ago: ATMs and online services down across Iran. Or the gas stations, with payment systems disabled. Or the Khouzestan Steel Company, where, according to them, molten steel was forced out of the furnace. They even posted the video, like a trailer.
This is cyberwar, but without rules. Everyone denies. No one signs. But suspicion always points in one direction: Israeli intelligence. And while attribution remains vague, the damage is very real.
So real that, in Israel, during the conflict, a former cybersecurity official went on public radio with a warning: “Turn off your home security cameras. Or at least change the password.” Because Iranian hackers, he said, are trying to get in. Not to spy, but to see where their missiles landed and fine-tune the next strike.
In this war, even a forgotten webcam can cost lives. No need for a virus. Just coordinates.
