UAE target of cyberattacks after Israel deal
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Gulf Arab state's cyber security head said The United Arab Emirates was the target of cyber attacks after establishing formal ties with Israel.
In August, The UAE broke with decades of Arab policy when it agreed to forge ties with Israel in a move that angered Palestinians and some Muslim states and communities.
Bahrain and Sudan have followed suit.
"Our relationship, for example, with the normalisation with Israel really opened huge attacks from some other activists against the UAE," Mohamed Hamad al-Kuwaiti said during an onstage interview at a conference in Dubai.
Kuwaiti said the financial sector was targeted but did not elaborate.
He did not say if any of the attacks were successful or provide details on who the perpetrators were.
He also further told that the conference that the number of cyber attacks in the UAE increased sharply after the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Kuwaiti said traditionally many attacks in the region originate from Iran, without specifying who is behind them.
Iran has also said that it has been a victim of hacking.
