Phishing refers to sending false texts and/or e mails in an attempt to trick people into letting hackers gain access to their computers and personal information and passwords.

One such phishing attack came in what the Directorate described as a “tempting and personal job offer” from Israel Rafael Advanced Defense Systems that lands on a LinkedIn page with a suspicious link.

Another comes in the form of an email from the National Cyber Directorate urging the download of a security update.
