Iran Getting Ready For Cyber Warfare Against The United Stated Infrastructure
Iran is recruiting a hacker army to target the U.S. power grid, water systems and other vital infrastructure for cyberattack in a future confrontation with the United States, security specialists will warn Congress Thursday. Lawmakers from two House Homeland Security subcommittees will hold a joint hearing Thursday about the cyberthreat posed by Iran, as tensions over Tehrans nuclear program continue at a high level, and a possible Israeli strike looms. The U.S. Cyber Command has roughly 30,000 personal for cyber warfare under the command of four-star general, Keith Alexander.
Over the past three years, the Iranian regime has invested heavily in both defensive and offensive capabilities in cyberspace, states testimony from Ilan Berman, vice president of the hawkish American Foreign Policy Council, in his remarks for Thursdays hearing. For the Iranian regime the conclusion [drawn from Stuxnet] is clear: War with the West, at least on the cyberfront, has [already] been joined, and the Iranian regime is mobilizing, states Mr. Berman.
