"US Targets Iranian Cyber-Attacks and Arms Purchases with Sanctions and Criminal Charges"
The US has imposed sanctions on six Iranian officials from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for cyber-attacks on American water plants, with the US accusing an Iranian-backed militia group of a recent drone attack near the Syrian border. The sanctioned individuals are part of the IRGC's Cyber-Electronic Command, and the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) has warned about the vulnerability of America's water systems to cyber-attacks. The attacks, attributed to an IRGC-affiliated group, targeted water facilities in Pennsylvania, raising concerns about cybersecurity awareness and prompting calls for a full investigation by US officials.
