‘Patriots, keep protesting’: Iranian prayer app with five million users hacked by Israel, says report

Screenshots circulated before a near-total internet blackout. While Israel hasn't confirmed, reports suggest this is part of its strategy to shape behavior through precise, psychologically impactful cyber operations, turning trusted tools into vulnerabilities.
