Cyber threat bulletin: Iranian Cyber Threat Response to US/Israel strikes, February 2026

On February 28, 2026, the United States (U.S.) and the State of Israel (Israel) launched military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran) to eliminate threats from the Iranian regime. Iran retaliated with military strikes against Israel and U.S. military bases across the Middle East. Iran will very likely use its cyber program to respond to the joint U.S. and Israel combat operations against Iran.
