Iran's cyber war appears to be entering a more dangerous phase. Hackers linked to Tehran are increasingly targeting critical physical infrastructure around the world. Recent incidents include attacks on US water supply systems, oil tankers and food storage facilities in Europe, which is alarming security experts.

Rather than mainly stealing data, as in the past, the suspected attacks are now increasingly aimed at systems that control physical facilities, and could therefore cause real-world damage. Tehran denies being behind cyber attacks abroad.

Key points:

• Iran's cyber warfare campaign appears to be entering a more dangerous phase.
• Hackers are suspected of having attacked US water supply systems, oil tankers and food storage facilities in Europe.
• The attacks are being linked to Iran.
