"Cyber Av3ngers Strike US: Municipal Water Systems Under Attack"
Iranian cyber criminals, known as Cyber Av3ngers, targeted a Pennsylvania water authority infrastructure in an attempt to disrupt Israeli-made technology in the U.S. The hackers took partial control of a system regulating water pressure, which included technology manufactured in Israel. The attack was quickly detected and the water pressure system was disabled, preventing any significant impact on the water supply. Federal authorities are investigating similar attacks on other facilities across the country. The motive behind the cyber attacks is believed to be the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, with the Iranian government supporting Hamas. Cybersecurity experts emphasize the need to strengthen defenses against such attacks on critical infrastructure.
