Every missile or drone strike on the UAE during its conflict with Iran was simultaneously matched by a cyberattack on the same target, the head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council (the government body overseeing the country's digital security) told Euronews on Wednesday. Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, speaking at the Arab Media Summit in Dubai, said the coordinated mix of kinetic and cyber operations — spanning ransomware, supply chain compromises, deepfakes, and attacks on electricity, water, and aviation infrastructure — was, to his knowledge, unprecedented anywhere in the world. He called for an international "Cyber Geneva Convention" to clarify whether nations have the right to retaliate against cyberattacks, warning that without agreed legal norms, the rules governing digital warfare remain dangerously unclear.
