CyberAv3ngers

CyberAv3ngers is an IRGC-linked Iranian hacktivist group specializing in attacks against industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT), particularly internet-exposed programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The group gained international attention in late 2023 after compromising Unitronics PLCs at water and wastewater utilities across the United States following the Hamas-Israel conflict. US authorities — including CISA, FBI, EPA, and NSA — attributed these attacks to the IRGC, and the US Treasury sanctioned six IRGC Cyber Command officers linked to the group in February 2024.
