The Iranian hacker group Pay2Key broke into the Israeli company Portnox today (Thursday), which focuses on producing cyber solutions and information security for the business and private sector.

This is the second time this week that the group claims to have broken into the systems of companies in the country, after first infiltrating IAI computers in Israel.



Portnox was founded in 2007, and its customer list includes hundreds of the largest companies in the economy.

Among the documents that the crackers leaked is a 15-page report that reveals the weaknesses of Elbit.

It should be noted that the report is relatively old and will end in 2018, and that it is possible that most of the weaknesses revealed are irrelevant.

Pay2Key's double squeeze method

According to Check Point, the Pay2Key group uses a double extortion tactic to urge victims to pay the ransom.

In the Double Extortion model, hackers not only encrypt the information and demand ransom for its release, but also threaten and leak information stolen from the organization, in order to speed up payment.



In addition, Check Point recently published data showing that there has been an increase in the number of cyber attacks on Israeli companies in recent months.

In November alone, 141 Israeli organizations and companies were attacked in a ransom attack, an increase of 3% compared to October, during which 137 Israeli companies were attacked.

A month earlier, 128 organizations had been attacked, so that between September and October there was also a 7% increase.
