Iran Has Laid Groundwork for Extensive Cyberattacks on U.S.
(NBC News) Courtney Kube - Iranian hackers have laid the groundwork to carry out extensive cyberattacks on U.S. and European infrastructure and on private companies, and the U.S. is warning allies, hardening its defenses and weighing a counterattack, say multiple senior U.S. officials. U.S. officials at the 2018 Aspen Security Forum said Iran is making preparations that would enable denial-of-service attacks against thousands of electric grids, water plants, and health care and technology companies in the U.S., Germany, the UK and other countries in Europe and the Middle East.
