Iran's leaders on Friday vowed to exact "a forceful revenge" against the US in response to the American drone strike that killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, late Thursday.
Now, cybersecurity and defense experts are bracing for an Iranian cyberoffensive that could target online infrastructure across the US military and the private sector.
Experts told Business Insider that Iran had spent years building out its computer-warfare capabilities. Since 2010, when Iran faced a cyberattack on its nuclear facilities, the country has focused heavily on beefing up its defense operations.
