Amazon is sounding the alarm about a dangerous new form of warfare where cyberattacks directly enable physical military strikes. The tech giant calls it "cyber-enabled kinetic targeting" - hackers compromise security cameras and surveillance systems to provide real-time intelligence for missile attacks. The most striking example: Iran's MuddyWater group hacked Jerusalem CCTV cameras in May, then used live feeds to adjust missile targeting during attacks on June 23. This allowed Iranian forces to make real-time adjustments while weapons were in flight. Amazon's security chief Steve Schmidt warns that traditional cybersecurity approaches treating digital and physical threats separately are now "detrimental." Nation-states are pioneering this hybrid model, and more countries will follow suit, fundamentally changing how warfare operates. **Source:** [CyberScoop](https://cyberscoop.com/amazon-cyber-enabled-kinetic-targeting/)
