Secret Iran Hacking Plans Against West Revealed
(Sky News-UK) Deborah Haynes - Classified documents from Iran, obtained by Sky News, reveal secret research into how a cyber attack could be used to sink a cargo ship or blow up a fuel pump at a petrol station. The papers reveal a particular interest in Western countries, including the UK, France and the U.S. A security source said the documents were compiled by a secret, offensive cyber unit called Shahid Kaveh, part of Iran's Revolutionary Guards cyber command. The source said the work is evidence of efforts by Iran to collect intelligence on civilian infrastructure. "They are creating a target bank," said the source.
