Iran’s New Cyber Playbook Is to Create Real-World Havoc

Wall Street Journal: “Iran has long been viewed as a second-tier cyber threat, lacking the technological and strategic sophistication of China, Russia and North Korea. Now, as the U.S. war with Iran grinds on, Tehran is flexing a new level of aggression that has cybersecurity experts warning that the Islamic Republic has become a more dangerous foe.”

“Tehran is expanding its targets and making the jump to attacks that inflict real-world harm, according to cyber officials and defense experts. The shift shows both a stronger grasp on new tools like artificial intelligence and a willingness to use them against a wider range of targets.”
