Hackers hacked a programming service to show a fake report on Gaza that used graphic images, and the anchor was also created through AI. Microsoft has a blog post I have given information about this. According to the tech giant, hackers carried out this attack in December. The attack shows how much Iranian operations had intensified after the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
The fake news broadcast was primarily run to portray Israel’s operations in Gaza, with the banner: “We have no choice but to hack to get our message across.” After that an AI generated fake anchor appears which shows graphics images. These images were not verified. The images were of Palestinians, including women and children, allegedly killed and injured by Israeli forces inside Gaza.

According to the report, witnesses and interviewed users of watching the news broadcast said that it was very scary to see that news broadcast suddenly appearing on the TV screen. A female user said that she had no way of hiding the graphic images that were suddenly being shown on TV from her children. The hack was so strong that the same content was visible on every TV channel. Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) said in a February 8 report that this news broadcast had also reached users in Britain and Canada.
