U.S. authorities are investigating suspected cyberattacks on two foreign-flagged energy tankers bound for the United States. The U.S. Coast Guard and FBI boarded the vessels after indications that their networks had been compromised by foreign cyber actors. One vessel reportedly identified as the VL Prosperity, a massive oil tanker heading toward Texas, was reportedly targeted near the Strait of Gibraltar. Iranian state media has linked the incident to a possible cyber operation, but U.S. authorities have not publicly attributed the attacks to Iran or any specific actor. Watch the latest developments as investigators examine the suspected cyber breaches, maritime security risks and potential implications for U.S. energy shipping. #Iran #Cyberattack #CyberWar #USTankers #USCoastGuard #FBI #EnergySecurity #OilTanker #VLProsperity #IranCyberAttack #MaritimeSecurity #CyberSecurity #Texas #USIran #EnergyShipping #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewsl
