"Iranian government hackers have been exploiting internet-facing systems used across a range of sectors, including water and waste-water utilities, energy, and local government facilities, aiming to cause disruptive effects within the United States."
"The hackers targeted programmable logic controllers and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) products, which are used to control and manage industrial equipment and systems in critical infrastructure operations."
"The hacks targeting critical infrastructure represent a marked escalation in tactics by Iranian hackers, likely in response to the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, which began on February 28."
Iranian government hackers are escalating their tactics by targeting American critical infrastructure systems, including water, energy, and local government facilities. The FBI, NSA, CISA, and the Department of Energy issued a joint advisory warning that these hackers exploit internet-facing systems to cause operational disruption. They manipulate programmable logic controllers and SCADA products, affecting industrial equipment management. This escalation is likely a response to the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict, with recent threats from U.S. leadership intensifying the situation.
