New intelligence on Hezi Rash: See how the Kurdish group launched 350+ DDoS attacks and used DaaS platforms like EliteStress to lower entry barriers.
Hack Read
A new group calling itself Hezi Rash (Black Force in Kurdish) has emerged as a growing power in the world of hacktivism, according to the latest research report from Check Point’s External Risk Management.
This nationalist collective, reportedly established in 2023, uses cyberattacks, primarily DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service), to target countries seen as threats to Kurdish or Muslim communities.
Targets and Tactics
Check Point’s research team, led by Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst Daniel Sadeh, found that Hezi Rash views itself as a digital defender of Kurdish society and ties its operations directly to political and religious issues. They state their goal is to be a “Kurdish national team working to help and protect Kurdish society.” The group is active on Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter).
