In a joint US-UK operation, US security and law enforcement agencies issued a warning of Iranian-affiliated hacking operations targeting a range of government and private organizations in multiple sectors around the world.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and other British and US agencies were quoted by Reuters as saying that they had observed Iranian entities, known as MuddyWater, carrying out cyber-espionage targeting the defense, local government, oil and natural gas and telecommunications sectors across the globe.
