Experts are asking who is behind Predatory Sparrow, the group which says it started a fire in an Iranian factory.

Possibly the only one came in 2014 in Germany. In theit was stated that a cyber-attack caused "massive damage" to a steel factory, causing an emergency shutdown, but no further details have ever been given.

So if Predatory Sparrow is a state-sponsored military hacking group, which country does it represent? Its name, a play on the name of the Iranian cyber-warfare group, Charming Kitten, could be a clue suggesting that it's a country with a strong interest in Iran. The minister is reportedly concerned that Israel's "ambiguity policy" on its operations against Iran might have been broken.

Again, the hackers showed a degree of responsibility by warning Iran's emergency services in advance about the potential chaos that could result.
