Did you fall into the trap?

On the occasion of World Cyber ​​Defense Awareness Month, which is observed every year in October, today the National Cyber ​​Unit and the ICT and Information Security Division of the IDF conducted an extensive phishing exercise aimed at raising awareness of cyber threats. As part of the exercise, more than 300,000 regular and permanent soldiers, IDF employees and reservists received , text messages with messages that promise some benefit and lead to a link that looks unofficial.

Whoever clicked on the link received a message that this was an exercise and recommendations for identifying these types of messages.

The data shows that in the first hour of the exercise, about 11% of the recipients of the messages clicked on the link.

As of 12:30, the percentage of clicks on the link was about 20% of all recipients of the messages.

In the previous exercise held last May among regular soldiers, reservists and civilian employees of the IDF only (irregularly), the percentage of clicks was 30% of the recipients of the messages. Some of the recipients of the messages showed vigilance and reported to the 119 hotline of the cyber system.

How will you spot a phishing attempt?

• A message containing incorrect wording.


• Lack of personal contact.


• Creating pressure and a sense of urgency.


• A message that contains an exaggerated promise or a large reward.


• Sending from an unknown number or name.


• Referral to click on a shortened link or one that is different from an official website address.
