The Middle East has been subject to more and more cyber-attacks in the past 15 years due to its growing economic and political importance, and due to recent regional conflicts. One of the most famous attacks occurred on August 15th, 2012, where the computer network of Saudi Aramco was struck by a self-replicating virus that infected as many as 30,000 of its Windows- based machines. Despite its vast resources as Saudi Arabia's national oil and gas firm, Aramco, according to reports, took almost two weeks to recover from the damage, and in 2021 according to this BBC News article, hackers demanded US$50 million from Saudi Aramco over data leaked by one of its sub-contractors.
