""We did not begin this war, but we will be the ones to finish it. And let it be clear: The cyber war did not begin with the military conflict, and it will not end with any military ceasefire.""
"U.S. authorities warned on Tuesday that hackers supporting Iran had burrowed into internet-connected computers used to automate and control technology in a variety of important industrial sectors."
"The computers, known as programmable logic controllers, are used in ports, power plants and water plants - key targets for foreign hackers looking to disrupt everyday life in the U.S."
"In a joint advisory from the FBI, National Security Agency and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, officials urged organizations that use the technology to ensure their security precautions were up-to-date."
Iranian-backed hackers, particularly the group Handala, have indicated that they will continue cyberattacks despite a ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel. Handala has temporarily paused attacks on the U.S. but remains focused on Israel, planning to resume actions against America when conditions are favorable. U.S. cybersecurity experts warn that hackers have infiltrated critical infrastructure systems, emphasizing the need for organizations to enhance their security measures. The ongoing digital warfare reflects the deep integration of cyber operations in military conflicts.
