The US and Israel have issued a joint advisory warning about cyber threats originating from Iran that could potentially impact various industries, including water systems, energy, and food. This advisory comes as hackers associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are targeting programmable-logic controllers manufactured by Unitronics.
According to agencies such as the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Israel National Cyber Directorate, since November 22, actors affiliated with the IRGC, operating under the name “CyberAv3ngers,” have successfully compromised Unitronics devices. The hackers have left a message proclaiming, “You have been hacked, down with Israel.”
The US and Israel are raising awareness about this cyber activity in order to protect critical infrastructure and prevent potential disruptions in these sectors. It is crucial for organizations to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to safeguard their systems from such malicious attacks.
