According to the American IT giant, the hacker attack took place in early December and underscored “the fast and significant expansion in the scope of Iranian operations since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict”.

The fake news broadcast focused on Israel’s operations in Gaza and was accompanied by a banner that read: “We have no choice but to hack to deliver this message to you."

The AI news anchor then went on to present graphic – and unverified images – of Palestinians, including women and children, allegedly killed or injured by Israeli forces in Gaza.

"I was watching BBC News around 10.30 pm when the programme was abruptly disrupted, and instead, harrowing visuals from Palestine appeared on my screen. I watched transfixed as my screen froze, and a message from the hacker popped up in all caps against a green background. This was immediately followed by a news bulletin presented by an AI anchor. It was surreal and scary," a Dubai resident told Khaleej Times.

Another user interviewed by the same newspaper recounted how she was unable to shield her children from the graphic images that suddenly popped up on the TV screen.

“Every channel we switched to displayed the same content," she said.

In its February 8 report, Microsoft's Threat Analysis Centre (MTAC) said the disruption had also reached audiences in Britain and Canada.

MTAC attributed the attack to Cotton Sandstorm – a group it has previously identified as “an Iranian state actor sanctioned by the US Treasury Department for their attempts to undermine the integrity of the 2020 US presidential elections”.

AI ‘a key component’

Microsoft said the group, which labelled itself “For Humanity” during the operation, had published videos on the Telegram messaging app, showing how it had hacked into three online streaming services and disrupted “several news channels” with the fake AI broadcast.

It added it was “the first Iranian influence operation Microsoft has detected where AI played a key component in its messaging”.

Since the start of the war, Microsoft said it had noted collaboration between groups affiliated with Iran and, in particular, between a group linked to Iran’s intelligence and security ministry and “Hezbollah cyber units”.

Fabrice Popineau, an AI specialist who lectures and conducts research at France’s prestigious engineering school CentraleSupélec, said the attack was quite a feat. “The achievement is not so much the production of an AI-generated news broadcast, but the fact that they managed to insert it in the right place,” he said.

Nicolas Arpagian, vice-president of cybersecurity firm HeadMind Partners, also pointed to the technical aspect of how the group had attacked the streaming services.

"The cyber attack did not directly target the television channels but the operators of them, not the sender but the receiver," he explained.

According to Arpagian, these type of attacks – in which graphic photos and videos are displayed – fall under a special propaganda category known as “agit-prop”, aiming to spark an emotional reaction and political agitation.   

"As soon as you have people feeling it, experiencing it in their homes, in their privacy, the goal is achieved,” he said.

Surge in Iranian cyber attacks

Iran’s upswing in hackings and influence campaigns highlights the regime’s desire to show that it can attack anywhere, anytime. Microsoft said that while it had tracked only nine Iranian-linked groups active in Israel in the first week of the war, this number had grown to as many as 14 just two weeks into the conflict.

It also said that Iranian cyber influence operations had skyrocketed from around one operation “every other month” in 2021, to 11 in October, 2023, alone.

In November last year, these Iran-backed groups also started to extend their attacks beyond Israel to include Israeli allies. Among the targets were a handful of small town water utilities in the United States, including in Pennsylvania, where stunned staff at the Aliquippa water authority discovered that their industrial control device had been hacked. A message on the device screen read: “You have been hacked. Down with Israel. Every equipment ‘made in Israel’ is Cyber Avengers’ legal target.” The Cyber Avengers is affiliated to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, which is a key branch of the country’s armed forces.

This particular attack was remarkable in the sense that it targeted Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), which are commonly used in factory automation processes, including robotised machines and assembly line devices. Such attacks can therefore heavily disrupt operations, and, depending on the industry affected, cause major damage.

US police have opened an investigation into the attack.

You should say all you want to say (one of my professors was raised in Dubai and I get MAJOR vibes from him and I want to know I’m right)

God ok so I saw the tweets earlier and his comment, and I rolled my eyes but wasn't surprised. I then saw this Tiktok now and proceeded to send a rant to my friends about how stupid this take is cause it's SO westernized.

Disclaimer 1: I am NOT defending this cunt of a man

Disclaimer 2: I am NOT attacking this girl specifically, this is a general response to some of the takes I've seen

Disclaimer 3: I was born in Iraqi, Muslim parents, grew up in Qatar (yes, where the World cup was, where the grand prix is), and I went to the UAE at least 3 times per year before moving to Canada during my late teens so I know men of the Khaleej through first-hand experience

While he's a piece of shit in general and has shown how much of an idiot he is over the past year especially, digging up something from 20 years ago is very strange behavior to me cause I am sure if anyone looks at their online presence 10+ years ago, there will be some weird shit going on!

It is also NOT fair to apply an Americanized/Westernized ideology to a man from a culture you know nothing about. No, 20 years ago women from that region did not have proper rights or resources. Yes, their men were/are oppressive and dominant. The UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, they've changed and developed a lot, but 20 years ago they were deserts trying to figure out their way forward. I went to Dubai in 2001 when there were like 2 malls and no attractions. I moved to Qatar when it's downtown core had literally 3 buildings (and look at them both now). Their men DO think they're better than their women. They have a superiority complex. They aren't well educated either, especially not back then.

So to expect that a man from the region 20 years ago should've known better than to think those things? Fuck off lmao. This is just How They Are. They've developed since but STOP with projecting how you (general you in the West) think onto people from totally different cultures?

The man has shown he's Not Okay between the no statements rule, the Japan incident with Christian at the gala, the undervaluing of the entire sport like......c'mon lmao

★ Dubai: 3-ft social media sensation bags role in movie starring Salman Khan!

2 Aug 2022

"I am so happy and excited to be making my Bollywood debut with Salman Khan. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would do a movie with such a huge star. I will work hard to prove that the faith reposed in me is not misplaced," Rozik, 17, told Khaleej Times from Mumbai where he's currently doing some shoots.

"I am so happy and excited to be making my Bollywood debut with Salman Khan. I will work hard to prove that the faith reposed in me is not misplaced."

'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' began shooting on Salman's farm on the outskirts of Mumbai in June but its title was changed to 'Bhaijaan'to make it appear as a spin-off of the actor's 2018 smash-hit 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.

Bhaijaan (elder brother) is also the affectionate name fans use for Salman.

The UAE-based International Fighting Championship Management (IFCM), which is managing Rozik, said they are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support for the diminutive singer in Mumbai.

Earlier, Rozik was seen posing alongside Salman Khan as well as rendering the popular 'Dil Diwana Bin Sajna Ke Mane Na' number from the 1989 blockbuster 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' which catapulted the actor to instant stardom. Another video shared by IFCM shows Rozik and Salman humming 'Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam Karega' from Aamir Khan's romance musical 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'.

Rozik, who received the UAE Golden Visa last August, was born into a poor family of gardeners in the Bangkent region of Tajikistan.

He suffered from rickets— a skeletal disorder that stunts growth among children.

Живущая в Дубае пакистанская эмигрантка Намира Салим планирует открыть отель в галактическом стиле, ожидая своего космического полета. После того, как компания британского магната Ричарда Брэнсона наконец запустила космические полеты, космическая туристка из ОАЭ Намира Салим заявила, что она будет запущена в космос до конца года. В интервью Khaleej Times в понедельник Намира сказала: «Мой космический полет очень близок. Я полечу в космос до конца года — через пару месяцев». В этом месяце Virgin Galactic, наконец, начала свое первое путешествие с тремя космическими туристами к дальним уголкам Вселенной. Космический корабль космической компании VSS Unity, приводимый в движение ракетами, стартовал с космодрома в Нью-Мексико. Запуску способствовал большой двухфюзеляжный базовый корабль. Ожидание В 2006 году Намира стала первой жительницей ОАЭ, купившей билет на суборбитальный полет на предприятии сэра Ричарда Брэнсона, в результате чего она стала пионером (частным) астронавтом. Житель Дубая заплатил 200 000 долларов, что значительно меньше половины заявленной стоимости в 450 000 долларов за место на рейсе. «Я очень жду этого, потому что мой рейс будет намного раньше. Это демократизация космоса. Для меня это было настоящим путешествием, потому что вся моя жизнь вращается вокруг космоса. Речь идет о полете в космос в эпоху коммерческих космических полетов. Мой путь длился 17 лет», — добавила она. Первый космический отель на Земле в ОАЭ Между тем, женщина, которая скоро станет первой женщиной-космонавтом из Дубая, расширяет свои космические начинания, открывая ряд высококлассных гостиничных заведений, которые она в первую очередь надеется развивать в эмирате, который она называет своим домом. Эта инновационная франшиза, анонс которой приурочен к ее предстоящему космическому полету, называется (Zero G) OG. Он черпает вдохновение из небесных тел с конечной целью привлечь значительный поток туристов. Это будет объект смешанного назначения с высококлассными отелями, гостиничными апартаментами с видом на море, виллами вдоль побережья, ресторанами с космической атмосферой, модульными космическими элементами, смотровой площадкой для наблюдения за звездами, а также кальянными и ночными клубами. . Разделяя вдохновение, стоящее за предприятием, когда она ищет потенциальных инвесторов, Намира повторяет, что первый космический отель на Земле готов стать центром космического туризма в стране. «Мой космический полет совсем близко, и я уже давно работаю над этим проектом. ОАЭ планируют разместить здесь космодром. Если у них есть космопорт, то им понадобится пространство, где люди могут собираться вместе, как глобальный хаб... Нам нужен глобальный хаб для всего «космоса» на Земле, и это то, что 0G Resort — первый космический отель на Земле. будет реализован в ОАЭ, надеюсь, в Дубае, который готов стать региональным центром космического туризма». Минимум 1 миллиард долларов 0G Resorts будет стремиться привлечь более широкую демографическую группу не только из космической отрасли, но и из правительств, туристов и семей, стремясь ежегодно привлекать миллионы посетителей. «Курорт 0G будет стоить минимум 1 миллиард долларов в зависимости от местоположения и размера защищенной земли. У меня также есть лучшая команда консультантов, которые представили предложение для тематического парка, который, если он будет добавлен, потребует большего участка. Это люди, которые строят курорты для Disney и Universal Studios и очень рады 0G Resort», — сказал пакистанский эмигрант. Ее видение также породило ее первую некоммерческую миссию в космос: 0G2030, образовательный ��роект по наращиванию потенциала STEM, который будет построен студентами 3 UNIT CubeSat в партнерстве с Университетом Найроби в Кении и Университетом Аризоны. «Наша команда недавно получила право на бесплатный запуск в космос от Организации Объединенных Наций», — добавила она.
