British security officials have said the Russian group, known as "Turla," used Iranian tools and computer infrastructure to successfully hack organizations in at least 20 different countries.

A US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) subcontractor has inadvertently shared copies of traveler images and license plates in what CBP is describing as a “malicious cyber attack.”
