The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued warnings about the possibility of cyberattacks launched by Iran in response to the United States killing Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian military commander. While many - including U.S. officials - have criticized the decision to kill the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force unit, Washington justified its actions by claiming that Soleimani had been planning an imminent attack on U.S. interests in the Middle East.
A group claiming to be hackers from Iran breached the website of a little-known US government agency on Saturday and posted messages vowing revenge for Washington's killing of top military commander Qasem Soleimani. The website of the Federal Depository Library Program was replaced with a page titled "Iranian Hackers!" that displayed images of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian flag.
Iran's retaliation for the United States' targeted killing of its top general is likely to include cyberattacks, security experts warned Friday. A top U.S. cybersecurity official is warning businesses and government agencies to be extra vigilant.
