Description :
In a significant cybersecurity incident, the Royal Saudi Air Force fell victim to a ransomware attack orchestrated by the hacking group known as Killsec. This attack, which targeted critical systems within the military sector of Saudi Arabia, raised alarms about the vulnerability of national defense infrastructures to cyber threats.
