Hackers Claim to Disrupt Communications on 116 Iranian Ships
INCIDENT
A group of hackers claims to have carried out a cyber attack that allegedly disrupted communications on 116 Iranian cargo ships. The group, Lab Dookhtegan, has not publicly disclosed the exact Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) used, open-source reporting indicates the group likely exploited vulnerabilities in the maritime satellite communication systems that these ships rely on.
Iranian authorities have yet to comment on the attack. In past incidents, state media and officials have either denied cyber intrusions or attributed them to foreign intelligence services. If confirmed, this latest operation would mark one of the most significant cyber disruptions targeting Iran’s maritime sector.
