Iranian hackers broadcast messages in Arabic, Persian songs over loudspeaker system in some kindergartens in Israel

A group of Iranian hackers broke into the loudspeaker and panic button system operated by a private company in a number of kindergartens and educational institutions, Hebrew media reports, without specifying where.

Songs in Persian and messages in Arabic were broadcast to the children and educational workers this morning, the reports say.

The Kan public broadcaster says the systems have now been disconnected from the wider network and the private company responsible for those units said it was taking steps to resolve the issue.

Dozens of Israelis also reported receiving text messages, apparently as part of the same cyberattack.
