According to Amazons threat intelligence team, Iranian-linked group MuddyWater provisioned attack infrastructure in mid-May 2025 and then used it on June 17, 2025 to access a compromised server streaming live CCTV footage from Jerusalem. Analysts assess that the group leveraged this access to gather real-time visual intelligence to refine targeting for a June 23 missile attack launched by Iran, in what Amazon terms cyber-enabled kinetic targeting. The case highlights how cyber intrusions against surveillance systems can directly support physical military operations without necessarily causing digital outages or data theft in the traditional sense.
