Iran-linked hackers target US critical infrastructure

cybersecurity

U.S. agencies have reported escalating Iranian hacking campaigns targeting critical infrastructure sectors within the United States. The increased activity is occurring in response to ongoing hostilities.

A joint advisory from the FBI, NSA, and CISA details the escalation in tactics employed by Iranian hackers, linking it to the current U.S.-Israel war with Iran.

The advisory did not disclose which specific facilities have been targeted, nor did it indicate whether any damage has resulted from these attacks. However, officials note a clear correlation between the intensification of the conflict and the rise in hacks on U.S. industrial sites.
