Iran Cyberattack: Nuclear Facilities & Govt Targeted☠️

Описание: Iran experienced significant cyberattacks on October 12, 2024, targeting its nuclear facilities and nearly all branches of government amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. These attacks have disrupted operations across the judiciary, legislature, and executive branches, resulting in the theft of sensitive information. Abolhassan Firouzabadi, former secretary of Iran's Supreme Council for Cyberspace, confirmed that critical infrastructure, including fuel distribution and municipal networks, was also affected[1][2][3].

The cyberattacks follow Iran's missile barrage on Israel on October 1, which has heightened regional hostilities. In response to this missile attack, Israeli officials have warned of a "lethal" and "surprising" retaliation against Iran. Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized that any strike would be unexpected and devastating[1][2][5].

The situation is further complicated by diplomatic efforts from Iran to mitigate the potential Israeli response. Iranian officials are reportedly engaging with neighboring countries to seek assistance in reducing the scale of Israel's military actions against them[5]. As tensions continue to rise, the international community is closely monitoring developments in this volatile region.
