Cyber Retaliation Possible

As Iran considers retaliation against the United States for Friday’s airstrikes, the food and agriculture sector may be a target. The U.S. based Food and Agriculture Information Sharing and Analysis Center and the Information Technology Sharing and Analysis Center have issued a joint statement urging U.S. companies to be alert for cyberattacks. Iran is known for state-sponsored ransomware attacks and malware attacks which could be a threat to infrastructure and the food chain.
