Incident: Reconnaissance and probing of US industrial hardware by state-linked actors.
Impact: Increased risk of targeted attacks on critical infrastructure and industrial processes.
Attacker: Iran-linked threat actors
Analysis: Iranian crews are actively scanning and probing diverse types of US industrial control systems. This reconnaissance suggests a strategic effort to map the attack surface of critical infrastructure for potential future exploitation.
