Bortnikov spoke about the method of eliminating members of the Iranian government

The United States and Israel eliminated members of the Iranian government using data obtained through software "bookmarks" in video monitoring systems in Tehran. This was announced on May 26 by the director of the FSB of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov.

He noted that dependence on Western technology platforms creates vulnerabilities for CIS countries to cyber attacks from the special services of NATO countries and their allies.

"The recent elimination of representatives of Iran's top leadership by the American-Israeli alliance is a clear alarming signal. The coordinates of the victims' location were obtained, among other things, through software bookmarks in video monitoring systems in Tehran," Bortnikov said at the 58th meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services of the CIS Countries (SORB).

According to him, it is worth paying attention to the reasons for the West's interest in introducing its digital innovations in strategically important sectors of the CIS economy, especially in communications and public administration systems. He stressed that the transparency of foreign neural networks is not guaranteed, as is the reliability of fully digital governance mechanisms in the event of a crisis.

"The Western world is focused on doing maximum damage to us"

Dmitry Prendetsky, CEO of RT-Information Security, how AI has changed the speed of hacker attacks on domestic infrastructure and how Russian specialists deal with them.

The Financial Times newspaper reported on March 3 that the assassination of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei became possible due to information from surveillance cameras that Israeli intelligence hacked many years ago. According to the newspaper, Israeli intelligence hacked traffic surveillance cameras in Tehran. The images from the cameras were encrypted and sent to servers located in Tel Aviv.

Israeli Mossad intelligence and special forces units conducted a ground operation in Iran on the night of Tuesday, March 3. The Fars news agency reported on the same day that the United States and Israel struck near the building of the Iranian state Television and radio Company in Tehran.
