        "content": "<p>The United States financial industry has stepped up readiness for\npotential cyber attacks following Washington\u2019s decision to go to war\nwith Iran. The airstrike announced by U.S. President Donald Trump over\nthe weekend killed Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran\nthen responded to the aggression, with Israel using missiles and drones\ntargeting assets owned by the U.S. in Arab states. The outbreak of war\nhas heightened concerns in the United States about cyber attacks by Iran\non U.S. infrastructure, including banking operations. \u201cWe are continuing\nto monitor developments with a focus on operational resilience, which\nunderpins the integrity and stability of the U.S. capital markets,\u201d said\nTodd Klessman of SIFMA. According to U.S. intelligence assessments cited\nby Reuters, hackers linked to Iran could carry out low-level cyber\nattacks on U.S. networks. An example of a low-level cyber attack is a\nDDoS attack, which floods servers until they are overwhelmed and go\noffline. According to a report from the Financial Services Information\nSharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), the financial sector has been the\nmain target of DDoS attacks throughout 2024. The attacks, among others,\nhave been carried out by activist hackers amid the Hamas-Israel and\nRussia-Ukraine wars. In addition to DDoS, another feared attack is\nransomware\u2014data held hostage with ransom demands. In 2023, a ransomware\nattack targeting an ICBC-owned broker unit disrupted trading in the U.S.\nbond market.<\/p>",
