Following recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a Department of Homeland Security bulletin warns that Iran-linked hackers might launch cyberattacks on U.S. targets. The alert highlights that both government-affiliated and pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely to target poorly secured networks. This escalation comes amid heightened tensions, as the U.S. seeks to dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities and protect national security interests that have been under threat, particularly with ongoing conflicts in the region.
Low-level cyber attacks against U.S. networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against U.S. networks.
The aim of the strikes was to destroy 'Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity' and eliminate 'the nuclear threat posed by the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terror,' Trump said.
