Homeland Security warns of Iran-backed cyberattacks targeting US networks


DHS said low-level cyberattacks targeting U.S. networks are "likely" in the wake of military conflict between the US and Israel, and Iran.

Homeland Security said it expects to see Iranian government-backed hackers conduct attacks against U.S. networks, amid the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Israel, and Iran. The bulletin was published days after a series of U.S. and Israeli air strikes targeted Iran’s nuclear program, which appeared to coincide with destructive hacks carried out by a pro-Israel hacking group, dubbed Predatory Sparrow. The hackers took out one of Iran’s top banks and destroyed millions in cryptocurrency held by the country’s largest crypto exchange.
