Iran's cyber threats remain serious and persistent despite any ceasefire agreements. These hackers have already proven their willingness to target American critical infrastructure, hitting water systems and energy facilities that serve ordinary citizens. The government's warning makes clear that defense contractors and companies with Israeli ties face heightened risks that could compromise national security.

The actual cyber threat from Iran appears overblown based on recent evidence. Security researchers report seeing little sophisticated activity following major military strikes, suggesting Iran's digital capabilities may be more limited than feared. Much of the hacking appears to be basic opportunistic attacks rather than coordinated state-sponsored operations.
