I'm John Batchler. Cyber security, cyber espionage, cyber sabotage. All of that comes together with Annie Fixler,

the director of the Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation, a senior fellow at the Foundation

for the Defense of Democracies. Following the Iran War, yes, we're going to one more time talk about the weapons of war in the

21st century. Annie, a very good evening to you. Thank you for this. What I learned from your most

recent revelations is that so many things that I would never have assumed had a wiring exposure

to cyber attack are the very same things that were attacked by the Iranians.

I introduce all of us on March 3rd to an attack on a wheat silo.

Where and how?

Good evening to you.

Good evening.

Thanks so much for having me.

So, yes, you mentioned an Iranian hacker group compromised a wheat silo in Jordan.

The damage was contained. It was limited. But, of course, the Iranian group proclaimed that they had compromised the food supply of the entire country of Jordan and tried to make a bigger stink out of the

operation than it was, which reveals to us a couple things. It reveals to us the connectivity

that you talked about. It reveals to us how Iran combines psychological operations and cyber

operations. And it reveals to us the prioritization that we're seeing from

Iranian actors to attack critical infrastructure. I remember some years ago, maybe as months,

everything squeezes together. London had a ransomware attack that made hospitals pause in their

treatment of patients, surgeries, investigations, appointments.

Now I read that Iran, Ministry of Intelligence and Security, called Handala, has attacked

Striker Corporation, a Fortune 500 medical technology company, and attacked it hard.

Were they showing off? Were they showing what they can do?
