"Iran’s Steel Industry Hit by Cyberattack as Tensions With Israel Rise"

The Iranian steel industry has been targeted in a significant cyberattack with hackers claiming to have taken over the systems of three state-owned enterprises. The Khuzestan Steel Company announced that it has shut down its factory until further notice due to technical problems brought on by a cyber intrusion. The Israel-linked hacking group, Gonjeshke Darande, which previously launched cyberattacks on Iranian infrastructure, posted a video on Twitter stating that it had hacked Khuzestan and two other steel businesses - the Moborakeh Steel Company and the Hormozgan Steel Company. The video appears to showcase footage of the hacker group allegedly seizing control of equipment inside one of the plants. Additionally, Gonjeshke Darande shared screenshots that appeared to be taken from within the computer systems of the businesses it had hacked. This article continues to discuss the cyberattack on the Khuzestan Steel Company, the group claiming to be behind the attack, the reason behind this attack, and the targeting of Iranian infrastructure in the cyberwar with Israel.
