USA News: Iranian Hackers Are Becoming More Advanced
Breach of U.S. Navy data shows increasingly tech-savvy, aggressive Iran.
Iran’s hack of the U.S. Navy Marine Corps Intranet in 2013 lasted longer than previously reported by officials, indicating the Middle Eastern nation’s years of cybersecurity development have made it a digital force to be reckoned with.
The hack of the nonclassified network that U.S. officials say was conducted by Iran was first reported in September, but it took until November for Navy staff to remove infiltrators from the systems, current and former U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal.
