Brace Yourself: Iranian Hackers Might Be Eyeing Your Outdated Software!
Stay sharp, folks! CISA and friends warn that Iranian cyber actors are eyeing vulnerable US networks. To avoid becoming a hacktivist’s next remix, update your software, change those “1234” passwords, and read the joint Fact Sheet, Iranian Cyber Actors May Target Vulnerable US Networks and Entities of Interest. Don’t let your network become their next hit!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Iranian cyber-spies have had their coffee and are ready to hack the world! Even if they’re not attacking yet, they’re certainly taking notes. So, grab that Fact Sheet, fix those vulnerabilities, and maybe change that “12345” password you’ve been holding onto since the ’90s. Better safe than sorry, right?
