US Warns Iran-Tied Hackers Pose Ongoing Risk to American Firms

Bloomberg2 days ago
Iran-affiliated hackers remain a potential threat to critical sectors of the US economy, including defense contractors and other American organizations, according to a bulletin published Monday from the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Defense Cyber Crime Center.
The bulletin warns that those with relationships with Israeli research and defense firms were particularly at risk. Hackers affiliated with the Iranian government and hacktivist organizations routinely target poorly secured US computer networks and internet-connected devices for disruptive cyberattacks, according to the report.

Natasha Howard led the way for Indiana, finishing with 16 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in the 74-59 win.

Coco Gauff Refuses To Apologize For Where She Stands Politically

Coco Gauff Refuses To Apologize For Where She Stands Politically originally appeared on The Spun. American tennis star Coco Gauff is unapologetically herself both on and off the court. Gauff is less than a month removed from winning the French open final. She defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a wild three-set match to claim her second career major title. In 2023, she defeated Sabalenka in the US Open final. Advertisement After capturing her first French Open title, Gauff was asked what it's like representing the United States everywhere she goes. Her response was awfully impressive. "It means a lot. Obviously there's a lot going on in our country right now," Gauff said, via The Tennis Letter. "Just to be a representation of that and a representation of people that look like me in America, who maybe don't feel as supported during this time period. Being that reflection of hope and light for those people." One of the reasons Gauff wants to represent hope for her fans is because she believes the country lacks it right now. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 05: Coco Gauff of United States celebrates a point against Lois Boisson of France in the Women's Singles Semi Final match on Day Twelve of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros on June 05, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by)Gauff, who turned 21 this past March, recently brought up the 2024 presidential election. She referred to Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris as a "down period" for Americans. Advertisement "I remember after the election and everything, it felt like a down period a little bit. My mom told me during Riyadh, try to win the tournament just to give people something to smile for. That's what I was thinking about today," Gauff said. Gauff has called out the Republican Party in the past. In May 2024, she ripped Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for a few decisions he made, like allowing books to be removed from public libraries. "We aren't happy with the current state of our government in Florida, especially everything with the books and just the way our office operates," Gauff told the Associated Press. It's also worth noting that Gauff has voiced her support for first-time voters in America over the past year. Advertisement "I feel like sometimes in my generation, people think their vote doesn't count," Gauff said. "We should just all just use our voices and use the power that we have." Suffice to say, Gauff is ready to use her platform to stand up for what she believes in.
