💨 Abstract

The U.S. government has issued a warning about escalating cyber threats from Iran-backed hackers targeting American critical infrastructure, including water utilities, energy, and local government facilities. These hackers have been exploiting internet-facing systems to cause disruptions and financial losses. The attacks, which involve manipulating industrial control systems, are seen as a response to recent geopolitical tensions. The advisory follows high-profile cyberattacks linked to the Iranian group Handala and recent threats from U.S. President Trump.
