Israel Blames Iran for Hospital Data Breach

Israel has named Iran and Hezbollah as the culprits behind a cyberattack on the the Ziv Medical Center.
Some 500GB of medical data was stolen from the hospital in Safed, Israel, in the attack, which was first reported last month.
Responsibility for the attack was originally claimed by the Malek Team cyber-threat group.
The group has made no further statements about the attack, and its Telegram channel is now set to private and its social media has been suspended.
Hezbollah's so-called Lebanese Cedar group has been operating since 2012, according to researchers from Check Point, and commonly targets the telecommunication sector and Internet service providers in Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
