The United States Justice Department has filed charges against an Iranian man for allegedly plotting to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The charges stem from an alleged plot that involved the use of firearms and other means to target Trump. The accused individual is currently located in Iran, and the Justice Department is seeking his extradition to the United States. The alleged plot highlights the ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran. It also raises questions about the feasibility of bringing charges against individuals located in a country with which the United States has limited cooperation. The Justice Department is working to dismantle the alleged plot and prevent future attacks against Trump or other individuals.

Iranian hackers are targeting organizations with a sophisticated multi-factor authentication (MFA) push-bombing attack, aiming to compromise their Microsoft 365, Azure, and Citrix Systems accounts. This attack involves sending a barrage of MFA push notifications to a victim’s device, overwhelming them with authentication requests and potentially tricking them into approving a malicious login.
The attackers exploit the user’s trust in MFA and their desire to quickly clear the notifications. This attack highlights the importance of implementing robust MFA strategies, including the use of advanced MFA solutions and security awareness training for employees. Organizations should also be wary of suspicious activity related to MFA notifications and promptly investigate any unusual behavior.
