Pro-Iran hackers claim Microsoft outage, vow to ramp up attacks on U.S. companies

Pro-Iran hacking collectives, including a group linked to CyberAv3ngers and the Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq (313 Team), have claimed responsibility for recent disruptions (including a Microsoft outage) and announced further offensives against U.S. allies and companies while fundraising to expand their cyber capabilities; some claims (including linkage to a deadly explosion) remain unverified.
