ING customers hit by phishing wave amid rising cyber attacks on safety systems

A new phishing campaign is targeting customers of Dutch bank ING in Belgium. The fraudulent messages appear to come from ING, use urgent language and a countdown timer, and ask recipients to call an unknown phone number. Experts advise victims to ignore the messages, verify account activity only through official ING channels, and report suspicious emails to the bank’s dedicated address.

Separately, security analysts warn that cyber attacks on critical infrastructure are increasingly aimed at eroding public trust in safety systems. An Iran‑linked hacker group, CyberAv3ngers, claimed to have disrupted air‑alarm networks during recent rocket attacks on Israel. While the claims are unverified, experts say such attacks seek to create confusion and doubt, turning emergency communication tools into instruments of psychological warfare.
