Thirsty for Hacks: Iranian CyberAv3ngers Target US Water Plants – A Splash of Comedy in the Face of Cybersecurity

When Iranian hackers aren’t binge-watching Ertugrul, they’re targeting US water plants. Their alias, “CyberAv3ngers,” suggests a Marvel obsession, but the real plot twist is that they’re not after ransomware. Instead, they’re defacing devices with anti-Israel messages. Remember folks, changing default passwords isn’t just a suggestion, it’s a survival kit in the cyber world.

Hot Take:

Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to...secure? When Iranian hackers aren't busy sipping chai or obsessing over the latest season of Ertugrul, they're apparently engaging in a spot of hacking. This time, they've taken a swing at US water plants, because, well, who needs a secure water supply anyway? The alias they're using? "CyberAv3ngers." Sounds like someone's been binge-watching the Marvel series. Be warned, folks: changing default passwords is apparently a thing.
