This report describes a surge in Iran-aligned and pro-Iranian cyber activity surrounding a kinetic conflict, detailing APT and hacktivist campaigns that include supply-chain compromises, MSP-targeting, destructive wipers (data-wiping attacks), and offensive use of cloud and OT/ICS vectors; it highlights recent disruptive incidents (AWS-region impact from kinetic strikes, Stryker wiper incident), common TTPs (spearphishing from compromised inboxes, MFA push-bombing, RMM abuse), and recommends defensive measures such as inventorying internet-facing assets, enforcing phishing-resistant MFA, auditing third-party access, mapping cloud dependencies, and air-gapped backups.
