Iran claims to have repelled ‘one of the most extensive and complex’ cyberattacks on infrastructure
[IsraelTimes] One of the most widespread and complex cyber attacks against Iran’s infrastructure was repelled yesterday, the semi-official Tasnim news agency quotes the head of Iran’s Infrastructure Communications Company as saying.“One of the most widespread and complex cyber attacks against the country’s infrastructure was identified and preventive measures were taken,” Behzad Akbari says according to semi-official Tasnim news agency, without giving more detail. In recent years, Iran has seen a series of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, including its ports. Surveillance cameras in government buildings, including prisons, have also been hacked in the past. The country disconnected much of its government infrastructure from the internet after the Stuxnet computer virus — widely believed to be a joint US-Israeli creation — disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges in the country’s nuclear sites in the late 2000s.
