    Controllers Across US Critical Infrastructure [ https://www.cisa.gov/news-= events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa26-097a?utm_source=3DIranPLC202604&utm_me= dium=3DGovDelivery ]. The advisory warns U.S. organizations of ongoing cybe=
    r exploitation targeting internet-connected operational technology devices,=
    including Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers=
    (PLCs), across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including Governm= ent Services and Facilities (to include local municipalities), Water and Wa= stewater Systems, and Energy.

    These disruptions include malicious interactions with the project file and = manipulation of data on human machine interface and supervisory control and=
    data acquisition displays, resulting in operational disruption and financi=
    al loss. The authoring agencies recommend organizations review the tactics,=
    techniques, and procedures and indicators of compromise in this advisory f=
    or indications of current or historical activity on their networks and appl=
    y the recommendations in this advisory to reduce the risk of compromise.

    * Query available logs for the provided IOCs in the corresponding time fr= ames.=20
    * Check available logs for suspicious traffic on the ports associated wit=
    h OT devices, including 44818, 2222, 102, and 502, especially traffic origi= nating from overseas hosting providers.=20
    * Place the physical key switch on the controller into the run position. = Contact the authoring agencies and Rockwell Automation for guidance if you = believe your organization was targeted.=20
