A website operated by the U.S. government has been hacked by a group claiming to represent the government of Iran.The website operated by the little-known Federal Depository Library Program, fdlp.
Security experts have already warned that cyber attacks could be part of Iran's retaliation for the U.S. airstrike on Friday that killed Revolutionary Guard General Qassem Soleimani, a top official in Iran and beloved there.
Iran's state-backed hackers are already among the world's most aggressive and could inject malware that triggers major disruptions to the U.S. public and private sector.
A top U.S. cybersecurity official is warning businesses and government agencies to be extra vigilant.
In 2012 and 2013, in response to U.S. sanctions, Iranian state-backed hackers carried out a series of disruptive denial-of-service attacks that knocked offline the websites of major U.S. banks including Bank of America as well as the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.Two years later, they wiped servers at the Sands Casino in Las Vegas, crippling hotel and gambling operations.
Wysopal said the Iranians are apt to have learned a lot from the 2017 NotPetya attack, which the U.S. and Britain have attributed to state-backed Russian hackers and which caused at least $10 billion in damage globally.
