Iranian Hackers on the Attack: How to Safeguard Your Infrastructure Now!
Beware: Iranian-affiliated hackers are eyeing U.S. critical infrastructure like it’s the last piece of pie at a family reunion. CISA and friends suggest you patch those vulnerabilities and change default passwords before someone else does—with a side of ransomware!
Hot Take:
Looks like Iranian hackers are back at it again, trying to play whack-a-mole with U.S. critical infrastructure. This time, they’ve set their sights on defense companies, energy, water, and healthcare sectors. If only cybersecurity was as simple as flipping a switch, we could just turn off the internet at the first sign of trouble and call it a day!
Key Points:
- U.S. cyber agencies warn of potential Iranian cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
- No current active campaigns, but vigilance is urged due to unrest in the Middle East.
- Defense Industrial Base companies with Israeli ties are at higher risk.
- Iranian hackers exploit unpatched vulnerabilities and default passwords.
- Threat actors may use ransomware or data wipers for attacks.
