Hacktivists Launch DDoS Attacks At U.S. Following Iran Bombings

Cyble reports a wave of hacktivist activity tied to the Israel–Iran conflict that has expanded to U.S. targets after recent strikes; observed activity includes DDoS attacks, website defacements, unauthorized access, credential and data leaks, and ransomware/extortion claims across dozens of groups (notably Mr Hamza, Team 313, Keymous+, Cyber Jihad, Handala and Israel-linked Predatory Sparrow). The report notes DHS warnings about likely low-level attacks and potential government-affiliated activity, presents claims and partial corroboration (check-host.net results, data samples), documents regional scale with many Iran-aligned groups active, and recommends DDoS protection, hardening of web-exposed assets, zero-trust controls, monitoring, and incident response preparedness.
