Cyber Islamic Resistance-Axis

Also known asCyber Islamic Resistance-Axis

Cyber Islamic Resistance-Axis is a pro-Iranian/pro-Palestinian hacktivist group explicitly described as aligning with Iranian and broader Axis of Resistance narratives. In the provided content, it is listed among hacktivist groups active during the cyber activity that followed the February 28, 2026 U.S.-Israel strikes on Iranian targets. The broader activity set described in the source includes disruptive and influence-oriented operations such as DDoS attacks, website defacements, alerts or threat claims, data leaks or breaches, ransomware incidents, and initial-access sales. The content characterizes most of the associated hacktivist activity in this period as low-to-medium sophistication, especially DDoS and defacements, while noting that some incidents in the wider ecosystem involved alleged military data breaches and access sales affecting CCTV systems, RDWeb, and SCADA/PLC environments. No specific sub-groups, victims, or uniquely attributed operations are directly provided for Cyber Islamic Resistance-Axis beyond its inclusion in the set of active pro-Iranian hacktivist actors and its ideological alignment with Iranian/Axis of Resistance messaging.
