NetSensor's HackNet neural network issued a high-priority global alert this morning. Our global monitoring network detected that the active hacker army reached its highest point in the last 12 months today, surpassing any record set since February 28, 2025. This digital contingent has found a primary target: for the third consecutive day, the monitoring infrastructure in Israel is the most attacked in the entire world.
The increase is alarming. The volume of daily attack attempts detected on Israeli infrastructure, which usually ranges between 15,000 and 20,000, has already surpassed 47,000 detections in the last 24 hours.
Israel at the Epicenter of Cyber War
HackNet's data analysis reveals a drastic shift in the global threat map. For the past ten days, the infrastructure in Israel has fluctuated between first and second place in the world ranking for detecting hacker activity.
With this aggressive volume, Israel has surpassed nations that historically figure as the most targeted in the world, such as the United States, China, India, Brazil, Japan, and Singapore. The maps and graphs generated by HackNet's intelligence (which you can see below) visually demonstrate this anomalous concentration of malicious traffic.
The Impact of Physical Warfare on Digital Intelligence
NetSensor also reports that HackNet's global monitoring capacity has suffered a setback due to armed conflicts in the physical world. Since March 2nd, 2026, six days ago, our monitoring and analysis infrastructure located in the United Arab Emirates has been out of operation.
The interruption was caused by military attacks in the region that affected the physical connectivity and power infrastructure that sustains our point of presence. Although HackNet is a resilient and distributed neural network, the temporary loss of this "view" in the Middle East occurs precisely at the time of greatest hacker activity in the last year.
NetSensor's Layered Defense
This hybrid warfare scenario (physical and digital) reinforces the need for cyber defenses based on invisibility and real-time intelligence.
NetSensor reiterates that clients protected by NetSensor Magic technology remain safe and immune to this escalation. The intelligence collected by HackNet, even with the absence of the point in the United Arab Emirates, continues to feed the digital vaccines and automatic blocking rules in milliseconds.
While the digital world faces its most critical day in 12 months, companies protected by NetSensor remain invisible to this mass of attackers.
