Iran Is Stepping Up Cyberattacks
(McClatchy) Tim Johnson - Recent cyberattacks have frozen computers at two government agencies in Saudi Arabia, and security experts say Iran is behind the digital mayhem. "Since the (U.S.) election especially, there's been a pretty drastic increase in the amount of targeting of Saudi and Israeli institutions by hacking groups that we absolutely know are based out of Iran," said Collin Anderson, a researcher writing a report on Iranian cyber warfare for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He said "reasonable degrees of evidence" link the hacking to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
