Following a joint US-Israeli military strike on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Khamenei, pro-Iranian and allied cyber actors have launched a coordinated wave of cyberattacks. These include DDoS campaigns, SQL injection attacks, data exfiltration, network compromises, and critical infrastructure targeting. Groups involved include Cotton Sandstorm (IRGC-linked), FAD Team, Handala Hack (MOIS-linked), Cyber Islamic Resistance, pro-Palestinian Dark Storm Team, and pro-Russian NoName057(16). Targets span Israeli defense, energy, healthcare, and municipal systems, as well as Saudi Aramco, an AWS data center in the UAE, and US-allied Arab states. Security researchers from Check Point, Flashpoint, Unit 42, and Cisco Talos urge organizations to implement maximum-security protocols, monitor third-party supply chains in the region, enable MFA, and prepare for hybrid cyber-physical attacks in the weeks ahead.
