Joint advisory released Wednesday by U.S. , Canada and Australia says Iranian cyber actors have spent the past year using “brute force” and other techniques to gain access to multiple critical infrastructure organizations.

The actors have targeted organizations within the health-care, government, information technology, engineering and energy sectors.

The agencies say organizations can detect brute force activity by looking for repeated failed login attempts in their authentication logs.
