Hackers looking to breach US computer networks sharply intensified their efforts following the death of Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani, but have had limited success, according to internet security researchers and state government officials
Soon after the strike that killed Soleimani, Iran-based attempts to hack federal, state and local government websites jumped 50% — and then continued to accelerate, said network security company Cloudflare. Over the course of 48 hours, attacks traced to Iranian IP addresses nearly tripled against targets around the world, Cloudflare said, peaking at half a billion attempts per day. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince called the increase"statistically significant" in an interview with CNN.
The image was accompanied by a message:"Hacked by Iranian hacker." Over the weekend, a website belonging to the Government Publishing Office was also defaced with an image of President Donald Trump, edited to appear bloody after being punched by a disembodied fist.Authorities are investigating the Texas Agriculture Department case, according to Maddison Jaureguito, a spokesperson for the department. Cybersecurity experts described the defacements as the work of amateurs.
