Yes. But is it as alarming as it was in June? I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m prepared to say that,\u201d Krebs said Sept. 19 at the CISA Cybersecurity Summit in National Harbor, Md. \u201cBut it remains a very active space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krebs\u2019 comments come just hours after Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Zarif told CNN that any attack on Iranian facilities will result in \u201call-out war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tensions in the Middle East rose in recent days after a drone attack on Saudi Aramco\u2019s oil facilities knocked out a significant chunk of the Saudi oil production. Iran has denied involvement in the strike. A handful of Republican lawmakers called for military strikes on Iran, specifically Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Graham chastised Trump recently for over his response to Iran\u2019s shooting down of a U.S. drone in the Persian Gulf in June, writing on Twitter that Trump\u2019s response \u201cwas clearly seen by the Iranian regime as a sign of weakness.\u201d Instead of a kinetic attack, the United States ultimately chose to respond with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/06\/25\/why-trump-may-have-opted-for-a-cyberattack-in-iran\/\" target=_blank>cyberattack <\/a>against Iranian military systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June, CISA issued an advisory that warned of an uptick in Iranian cyberoperations against U.S. industries. That advisory came after CISA conversations with the intelligence community and the private threat intelligence industry found that there was \u201cuniversally\u201d an increase in spearphishing, password spraying and credential stuffing from Iran, Krebs said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though there may not be a spike in Iranian cyberattacks recently, Krebs still warned that all organizations must be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe key takeaway here, and this is a message I think that\u2019s increasingly shared by the private sector, is treat every breach as your last. Don\u2019t just way for a data breach or exfiltration before you take it seriously,\u201d Krebs said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the United States contemplates a response
