Technical teams from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Yemeni government (Sanaa) successfully repelled and neutralized a cyber attack carried out by a Saudi hacker group known as “S4uD1Pwnz.” This incident marks the third foreign cyber attack on Yemeni websites. The previous two attacks were executed by a hacker group based in Iraqi Kurdistan.In retaliation, Yemen has targeted the Absher platform, which is affiliated with the Saudi Ministry of Interior. This platform connects all Saudi government departments electronically and serves 21 million users, offering 200 electronic services, including online services for passports, traffic, and civil affairs.

The cyber attacks on Yemeni sites suggests that Israel has organized a comprehensive operation involving air, cyber, intelligence, security, and economic strategies to strike Yemen. Following the failure of a US military naval operation in Yemen, it appears that Israeli officials now recognize that disabling the Yemeni front will require a large-scale, coordinated effort over an extended period.
