What happened
Multiple news reports highlight an uptick in state-linked and high-impact cyber activity across critical sectors. U.S. agencies (FBI, DoD) warn Iranian hacking groups are targeting operational technology — notably municipal governments, water/wastewater systems and the energy sector. A Massachusetts hospital reported a cyber incident forcing ambulance diversions and widespread system outages. The UK exposed a Russian cyber unit compromising SOHO/home routers to hijack internet traffic. Northern Ireland’s centralized school network (C2K) was hit by a cyberattack disrupting access for thousands.
