This bulletin warns against possible cyberattacks by Iran on the United States, as Iran and its related organizations have shown both the capability and willingness to use terrorism as a tool for retaliation against its enemies. Iran has previously shown that it likes to specifically target the energy sector and financial services with its cyberattacks. Furthermore, these attacks are not limited in its source to just the Iranian government, but also extreme Iran supporters acting on their own. The bulletin warns the general public to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and to immediately report such activity when spotted to local law enforcement officials. Furthermore, it advises people to keep offline backups of data in case of a cyberattack, and to know who to contact in the event that one does occur.
