Security Iran is the first out-loud cyberwar the US has fought Cyber is no longer the hush-hush thing it used to be, as team Trump invades Iran with hackers taking the lead Brandon Vigliarolo Mon 9 Mar 2026 // 01:31 UTC Kettle Unlike previous military conflicts, the cyber domain has been front and center since the Trump administration invaded Iran, upending the traditionally quiet role played by hackers in military conflicts. Join us for our first episode of the relaunched Kettle as host Brandon Vigliarolo discusses the US-Iran war, how it's affecting tech, the outsized role cyber operations are playing in Iran, and whether the tech industry will be affected by the conflict if it drags on. The episode also touches on Anthropic and the Pentagon, whether CISA cuts mean the US is less safe if threat actors enact revenge for Iran, and more. Brandon is joined for this episode by cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons and systems editor Tobias Mann. You can listen at this link right here , or find us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify ®.
