National Insurance Institute

The National Insurance Institute, also known as the Israel National Insurance Institute, is headquartered in Israel. Its core functions, specific services offered, operational scope, target markets, size, reach, organisational structure, ownership, and distinguishing attributes are not detailed within the provided source material. The available information focuses solely on a specific cybersecurity incident impacting the organisation.

On April 24, 2023, the National Insurance Institute was targeted in a cyberattack claimed by a hacktivist group. This group simultaneously compromised the Facebook account of Israel's Prime Minister, posting unauthorized content, and launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that knocked the Prime Minister's official personal website offline. The same actors publicly claimed responsibility for conducting DDoS attacks against other Israeli entities, including the National Insurance Institute and Haifa Port. These coordinated DDoS attacks successfully rendered the websites of these organisations inaccessible to the public for a period. The incident specifically disrupted public access to the National Insurance Institute's online presence. According to the source report, the attack against the National Insurance Institute did not involve a compromise of its internal computer systems. Furthermore, there was no indication or evidence presented that sensitive information belonging to the National Insurance Institute or its beneficiaries was stolen during this event. The disruption was confined to the temporary unavailability of its public-facing website due to the volumetric DDoS attack. This incident highlights the organisation's exposure to common cyber threats targeting national infrastructure. The attack formed part of a broader campaign against Israeli digital assets coordinated by the hacktivist group on that date.
