Iran Learning From Last War, Moving Towards Major Cyber Operations !!

The Us-Israel war on Iran has lead to the significant damage to the global economy, but Iran is facing heavy damage to its infrastructure, and other assets.

But, the game changes within a short span of time, as now, Iran has turned to cyber operations and remember, the opponents are on the target list.

Recently, cyberattacks incidents were reported in the United States including the critical infrastructure, including water system, oil tankers and food storage facilities in Europe and cyber investigators are linking it to dangerous Iran cyberwar campaign.

The Wall Street Journal has reported the shifting of Iran towards large scale cyber operations, as experts have warned of two major methods of attacks including the data-wiping attacks that destroy files and operations targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which automate industrial equipment and processes.

Iran-linked hacking group CyberAv3ngers, also known as Shahid Kaveh, has come under scrutiny over attacks involving industrial control systems.

The United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency previously linked the group to an incident involving Israeli-made Unitronics equipment used by American water facilities.

So far, Iran has denied of responsibility for cyberattacks abroad, as it’s Its ambassador to France, Mohammad Amin-Nejad, rejected the allegations in comments to the Wall Street Journal and suggested another country could be responsible.
