Reports are starting to come in CLAIMING Iran is now under intense cyber-attack. The reports say that absolutely **ALL** of Iran's critical infrastructure is under attack and "being wrecked by it."
There is, as yet, NO CONFIRMATION, about these alleged attacks.
More if and when I get it.
UPDATE 3:29 PM EDT --
CONFIRMED! A government source inside Iran has CONFRIMED all three branches of the Iran government are presently under "crippling" cyber-attack.
Moreover, the source also says Iran's NUCLEAR PROGRAM is also being hit.
More as I get it.
UPDATE 3:44 PM EDT --
New (Second) Source: "All three branches of Iran's government - the judiciary, the legislature and the executive branch - have been hit by heavy cyberattacks, and their information stolen,"
This second source went on to say "Our nuclear facilities have also been targeted by cyberattacks, as well as networks like fuel distribution, municipal networks, transportation networks, ports, and similar sectors. These are just part of a long list of various areas across the country that have been attacked."
UPDATE 7:25 PM EDT --
The attack is being dealt with by Iran computer and network specialists. The attack began while most critical business of the day had already been completed and most government offices (and commercial entities) had gone home for the day.
Iranian nuclear program systems are said to be well protected and now, inaccessible by the means being used to attack them.
Commercial entities are said to have been calling their tech people back into work to deal with issues that have arisen.
Essential systems remain online inside Iran. Essential infrastructure remains functioning inside Iran.
