Rising Cyber Tensions Push Greek Firms to Bolster Digital Defenses

  Greek companies are intensifying cybersecurity checks as the Iran conflict heightens the risk of digital attacks. According to recent reports, Greece’s National Cybersecurity Authority issued a high‑priority advisory urging critical sectors—including shipping, banking, telecommunications, healthcare, and energy—to scan their systems for potential threats.  The move follows a series of international cyber incidents attributed to Iran‑linked groups. Greek shipowners and major businesses have already begun reviewing their networks for suspicious activity after warnings that the geopolitical situation could trigger retaliatory cyber operations. Authorities describe the measures as precautionary but necessary, given the rising global cyber threat landscape. An Iranian‑linked hacking group recently claimed responsibility for an attack on a U.S. medical device provider, underscoring the broader risks associated with the conflict.

Tech Stocks Surge Amid Tariff Relief: A Premarket Rally

Wall Street is buzzing as U.S. stock futures climb, fueled by a temporary reprieve on tariffs for certain electronics. The White House announced exemptions for smartphones, computers, and other consumer electronics, sparking optimism among investors. Tech giants like Apple and Nvidia saw significant premarket gains, with Apple rising 4.7% and Nvidia up 2.1%.

While the exemptions offer a short-term boost, uncertainty looms as President Trump hinted at upcoming tariffs on semiconductors. Analysts remain cautious, noting the potential impact on economic growth and inflation. Despite this, the Nasdaq 100 futures jumped 1.46%, reflecting the market's positive sentiment.

This rally comes after a week of volatility, with the S&P 500 recording its biggest weekly gain since November 2023. As earnings season kicks off, investors will closely monitor corporate results and economic data for further insights.
