Hackers backing Iran not likely to be dissuaded by ceasefire for long

An uncertain ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. and Israel may do little to stop cyberattacks from hackers allied with Tehran.

American authorities warned this week that groups supporting Iran are seeking to disrupt critical infrastructure like energy and water plants by hacking into vulnerable networks.

Cybersecurity experts say the attacks are likely to continue, and possibly expand, as hackers supporting Tehran look to compensate for Iran's military disadvantages by using digital tactics to undermine and frustrate its adversaries.

One network has vowed to continue its efforts against the U.S. when the time is right, demonstrating again how digital warfare has become ingrained in military conflict.
