Pro-Iranian Hackers Target US Firms and Middle East Infrastructure Amid West Asia Conflict

Pro-Iranian hackers have intensified cyberattacks targeting U.S. defense contractors, critical infrastructure, and Middle Eastern sites amid the ongoing West Asia conflict. Groups linked to Iran claimed responsibility for attacks on companies like Stryker and Amazon Web Services data centers, disrupting services and raising concerns over digital security. Iran's military has also identified major tech firms and regional facilities as legitimate targets, signaling an expansion of cyber and kinetic operations. Experts warn these actions could escalate if Tehran's allies become more involved.
