Iranian Hackers Escalate Attacks on U.S. Critical Infrastructure

U.S. government agencies, including the EPA and FBI, issued a warning about Iranian-affiliated cyber-attacks targeting critical infrastructure, particularly in water and energy sectors.
Jeffrey Hall from the EPA highlighted that cyberattacks could threaten public health by disrupting water treatment and introducing contaminants.
The attacks are linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and focus on Rockwell Automation's programmable logic controllers, urging municipalities to secure these systems.
