Iran-affiliated cyber campaign targeting the US, Israel, GCC, and Europe
Campaign
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
Iran-affiliated cyber groups are running a multi-region campaign that has targeted the US, Israel, the GCC, and Europe since the outbreak of the war with the US / Israel. The activity spans water, critical infrastructure, military, government, energy, and healthcare sectors, and it has now reached Britain. The breadth of the target set points to a sustained adversary operation rather than a single isolated intrusion.
