Hundreds dead, thousands wounded—Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel shows the limits of even the most advanced and invasive surveillance dragnets as full-scale war erupts.
I think the problem is that the people in charge of running the surveillance never considered a coordinated cyber attack like this ever occurring, It’s the good old contempt issue.
Building a cyber attack resistant surveillance system is not that difficult, the infrastructure cost is significant, but I’m sure when the dust settles they’ll fix this weakness.
