Iran's Trojan Horses Cybersecurity Concerns

from Wisconsin's Midday News

ABC News Crime and Terrorism Analyst Brad Garrett talks about how U.S. intelligence agencies are urgently warning private-sector companies nationwide that Iranian cyber criminals are conducting operations targeting critical U.S. infrastructure. The EPA has also warned that Iran's cyber criminals have already disrupted drinking and wastewater systems but provided no details. There is also concern about physical attacks against nuclear plants and other brick and mortar structures. One major concern by many cyber experts is that Iran, as well as China and Russia, may already have back doors like Trojan horses and malware hidden in our infrastructure. Moreover, the other cause for concern is that the current Director of National Intelligence eliminated the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center, once considered a critical agency that kept private sector partners informed of cyber threats.
