Globes

Globes is a Hebrew‑language media outlet headquartered in Israel that delivers news through both a website and print editions. The organisation focuses on providing journalism to its audience, maintaining continuous reporting even during periods of heightened digital threat. Its core activity involves gathering, producing, and distributing news content to readers who rely on its online platform and traditional newspaper for information. The outlet’s operations are characterised by a commitment to uphold journalistic standards while adapting to evolving security challenges. In response to a cyberattack on July 18 2024, Globes restricted internal computer access to protect systems while ensuring that its website and print publications remained functional for the public.

The cyberattack was attributed to a sophisticated international criminal gang and described as an economic terror incident that disrupted certain internal systems and potentially limited services. Prior to this event, the organisation had already faced increased attack attempts amid regional conflict, which it had previously repelled. Following the incident, Globes collaborated with security partners and governmental authorities to investigate the breach, strengthen protective measures, and plan maintenance that could cause temporary service interruptions. Throughout the episode, the outlet communicated ongoing updates via its digital platforms and issued public advisories urging recipients to avoid suspicious messages requesting personal data or clicks. These actions illustrate the organisation’s resilience and its coordinated approach to safeguarding both its infrastructure and its audience’s trust.
