🇺🇸🇮🇷U.S OFFERS $10 MILLION BOUNTY FOR IRANIAN HACKERS

The State Department’s Rewards for Justice program has introduced bounties of up to $10 million for 6 Iranians who led the state-sponsored CyberAv3ngers attacks against several water utilities across the U.S last year.

Up to 10 companies were targeted in the attack, exploiting default passwords on their computer systems that hadn’t been updated.

Following the incident, the U.S moved to strengthen the cyber defenses of water companies.
