Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is responsible for recent attacks on water plants, according to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The IRGC's cyber group, "CyberAv3ngers," targeted Unitronics programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are commonly used in various sectors including water systems, energy, and healthcare. The attacks were motivated by Unitronics being an Israeli manufacturer. The compromised devices had default passwords and were exposed to the internet, posing a risk to critical infrastructure. Providers are urged to change default passwords, disconnect PLCs from the internet, and implement cybersecurity measures. #Iran #Cybersecurity #WaterSectorAttacks #CriticalInfrastructure
