Summary

January marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion to honor the memory of six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. The United Nations General Assembly designated this day as a reminder of the catastrophic consequences of prejudice and extremism. Cloudflare has begun publishing annual reports on cyberattacks targeting Jewish and Holocaust remembrance websites, with a significant rise in antisemitic incidents worldwide. These attacks have surged since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, with over 10,000 reported incidents in the U.S. alone. Cloudflare's Project Galileo initiative provides free security protections to vulnerable groups, including Muzeon, a museum dedicated to preserving Jewish history. The organization has seen drastic reductions in cyberattacks after implementing Cloudflare's solutions, allowing it to focus on its mission and expand its interactive exhibits.
