Iranian-Affiliated APT Actors Target U.S. Critical Infrastructure

U.S. government agencies issued a warning on Tuesday about ongoing cyber activity targeting operational technology (OT) and programmable logic controller (PLC) devices, including those from Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley, across critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, water, and government networks. The attacks have been attributed to Iranian-affiliated advanced persistent threat (APT) actors aiming to disrupt operations in the United States. The advisory, released by federal cybersecurity and law enforcement agencies, links the activity to heightened geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the U.S. No specific technical details, CVEs, or exact impact metrics were disclosed in the notice.
