Sophos Issues Cyber Advisory: Elevated Risk to Critical Infrastructure Amid US-Israel-Iran Escalation

Sophos published a cyber advisory warning of elevated risk to critical national infrastructure as the US-Israel-Iran conflict enters its fourth week, with an estimated 60 hacktivist groups active. Handala Hack, linked to Iran's MOIS, remains the most prominent Iranian persona conducting data-wiper attacks. The advisory recommends organizations update business continuity plans for digital and physical disruption, prepare to validate breach claims, and expect continued low-to-medium sophistication DDoS and hack-and-leak campaigns.
