        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The United States (US) is urged to prepare\nfor cyber attacks from Iran. The targets of such attacks range from\nbusinesses to local infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The warning was issued following another weekend of attacks by the US\nand Israel on Iran. Iran has retaliated with strikes hitting a US base,\nthe embassy, and several areas in Tel Aviv, Doha, and Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Iran is also expected to launch cyber attacks which are\nanticipated to be considerably more dangerous. The country is waiting\nfor the moment to launch such attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of timing, this is the last chance. In this regard, the\ndanger is much greater,\u201d said Pavel Gurvich, founder and CEO of the\ncybersecurity startup Tenzai, quoted by CNBC International, Thursday\n(5\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem spoke about\nnational security this week. She confirmed that the Department of\nHomeland Security (DHS) has been collaborating with intelligence\npartners and federal law enforcement to monitor and thwart each\npotential threat carefully.<\/p>\n<p>This threat of cyber attacks arises as the Cybersecurity and\nInfrastructure Security Agency (CISA) faces a range of issues from\npartial government shutdowns, forced leave, and management\nshake-ups.<\/p>\n<p>CISA is recorded to have lost a third of its staff since Donald Trump\nresumed the presidency. The agency also has to contend with many\nemployees leaving their posts.<\/p>\n<p>One of them, the agency\u2019s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, who\nwas moved to another division last week. The head of information\ntechnology, Bob Costello, announced his resignation from federal service\nvia a LinkedIn post.<\/p>\n<p>The CISA website has been inactive since 17 February 2026. The site\nstates the reason as funding from the federal government having been\nhalted.<\/p>\n<p>On the same date, DHS announced that CISA would cancel cybersecurity\nassessment programs, training and other activities.<\/p>",
