A DDoS and influence threat actor under the “Wa’d al-Akhira” banner targeting Israeli critical sectors.
Analyst brief
Conquerors Electronic Army is a threat actor operating under the “Wa’d al-Akhira” banner, known primarily for DDoS attacks against Israeli targets, including civil emergency alerting and healthcare sectors. The group combines disruptive operations with potential influence efforts by embedding links to a UK-registered charity in their campaigns, and they utilize rented stresser infrastructure alongside CheckHost proof-of-disruption links. Identified by Radware as a primary actor in DDoS attacks on Middle Eastern government entities, their focus spans both disruption and information operations. Defenders should prepare for high-volume DDoS attacks targeting critical public services, implement traffic scrubbing solutions for stress resilience, and monitor for CheckHost links shared as proof of successful disruption.
