Iranian-Affiliated Cyber Actors Exploit Programmable Logic Controllers Across US Critical Infrastructure

Iranian-affiliated cyber actors are actively targeting internet-connected operational technology devices, particularly programmable logic controllers, across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors, causing disruptions. U.S. government agencies issued an urgent advisory warning organizations of the ongoing threat. The campaign highlights persistent efforts by nation-state actors to compromise industrial control systems.

Why it matters: Critical infrastructure operators and IT security teams must immediately audit internet-connected OT and PLC devices for unauthorized access and implement network segmentation to prevent operational disruption from nation-state actors.
