Iran Regime Hackers a Growing Danger<\/a><\/p>\n

The Iranian Regime has surfaced as a major security threat when it comes to cyber-espionage operations. Accenture Security i Defense released a research report that states, \u201cThe Iranian government and hacktivists located in Iran pose a disruptive or destructive cyber threat against the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nA large amount of attacks originated in Iran during the first half of 2018. The attacks are reported to be state-sponsored campaigns focused on other nations in the Middle East.<\/p>\nIranian hackers have often been viewed as less skilled and less tenacious than hackers from countries like China and Russia, but recent research, suggests that this is changing quickly. \u201cThey\u2019re more sophisticated than the other players,\u201d according to Robert Katz, executive director of the Cyber Science Institute. \u201cThey had a major coordinated attack that did damage to our financial institutions on Wall Street. That was 2012, that was before we saw Russia being organized. Shortly after that, they had a physical attack against Saudi Aramco. They destroyed computers and turned them into paperweights.\u201d Katz continued, \u201cAll of those are very sophisticated compared to all of the unsophisticated stuff we\u2019ve seen from North Korea and the outright silly stuff we\u2019ve seen from Russia. The Russia stuff was just a basic phishing attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/pompeo-launches-iran-task-force-us-shore-support\/story?id=57218879\">Pompeo launches Iran task force as US tries to shore up support for its pressure campaign<\/a><\/p>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6681 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brian-hook-gty-jc-180816_hpMain_4x3_992-min-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"289\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brian-hook-gty-jc-180816_hpMain_4x3_992-min-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brian-hook-gty-jc-180816_hpMain_4x3_992-min-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/brian-hook-gty-jc-180816_hpMain_4x3_992-min.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/>The Trump administration is launching a new task force to focus on Iran, highlighting the threat from the country as a top foreign policy priority.<\/p>\nSecretary of State Mike Pompeo announced his team would spearhead the Iran Action Group to coordinate all \u201cIran-related activity\u201d across his department and the federal government.
