    CISA and Partners Release Updated Advisory on Iranian-Affiliated Cyber Acto=
    rs Exploiting Program Logic Controllers Across Critical Infrastructure [ ht= tps://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa26-097a ] 07/22/2= 026 2:30 PM EST=20

    Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in part= nership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Security A= gency (NSA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (D= OE), United States Cyber Command =E2=80=93 Cyber National Mission Force (CN= MF), and Department of the Treasury (Treasury) released an updated joint Cy= bersecurity Advisory "Iranian-Affiliated Cyber Actors Exploit Programmable = Logic Controllers Across US Critical Infrastructure" [ https://go.dhs.gov/i=
    Fo ].

    This update re-emphasizes the ongoing threat from Iranian-affiliated advanc=
    ed persistent threat (APT) actors targeting internet-connected operational = technology (OT) devices, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs) ma= nufactured by Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, Siemen=
    s, and potentially other brands/manufacturers. These attacks have resulted =
    in operational disruptions and financial losses across multiple U.S. critic=
    al infrastructure sectors, including Government Services and Facilities, Wa= ter and Wastewater Systems, and Energy.

    *What=E2=80=99s New in This Update:*


    * *Expanded Targeting:* The advisory now includes observed targeting of S= chneider Electric and Siemens PLCs, in addition to Rockwell Automation/Alle= n-Bradley and potentially other branded/manufacturer devices.=20
    * *Updated Technical Details:* New information on threat actor tactics, i= ncluding use of configuration software to exfiltrate device project files, = and expanded details on targeted ports and device models.=20
    * *Enhanced Mitigations:* Additional recommendations for securing cellula=
    r modems, implementing isolated architectures, validating project files, an=
    d detecting malicious changes in reusable code modules (such as Add-On Inst= ructions/AOIs).=20
    * *New Indicators of Compromise (IOCs):* Updated tables of internet proto= col (IP) addresses and timeframes associated with Iranian-affiliated APT ac= tivity.=20

    Iranian-affiliated APT actors continue to adapt their tactics, targeting a = wider range of devices and sectors. Proactive review of this advisory and i= mplementation of the recommended mitigations are critical to defending your=
    organization=E2=80=99s OT assets and ensuring operational resilience.
