CyberAv3ngers is a pro-Iranian threat actor assessed to be aligned with, or acting in support of, Iranian state interests, including activity linked in reporting to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ecosystem. The group is known for disruptive operations against operational technology and industrial control system environments in the United States. In 2023 it compromised at least dozens of U.S.-based programmable logic controllers and human-machine interfaces across multiple critical infrastructure sectors. The actor’s tradecraft includes targeting internet-exposed PLCs through direct remote access and use of legitimate vendor engineering software rather than relying on zero-day exploitation. Reported activity includes interaction with Rockwell automation environments, manipulation of project files, and alteration of HMI or SCADA display data. Confirmed targeting has included Rockwell CompactLogix and Micro850 device families, while probing of additional OT protocols such as Modbus and S7 suggests broader interest in industrial devices from multiple vendors. This pattern indicates a capability for disruptive OT intrusion, hands-on interaction with control-system assets, and reconnaissance of exposed industrial infrastructure. CyberAv3ngers is primarily associated with disruptive and politically aligned cyber operations rather than financially motivated crime. The group is commonly discussed alongside other pro-Iran or Iran-aligned operators conducting attacks against Western and critical infrastructure targets.
