Jerusalem, March 14 : Israel registered 9,108 cyber incidents in 2022, down 18 per cent year-on-year, said a statement issued by the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD). The statement on Monday noted that 31 per cent of last year's cases were phishing attempts, 26 per cent were hacking into social networks, and 18 per cent were malware.
