Hackers Target U.S. Water Systems | Irvine News
Description
Cyberattacks are hitting water systems across the U.S., disrupting pumps and valves in at least a dozen states — including Michigan, Minnesota, Georgia, New Jersey, and South Dakota. In Minnesota alone, over 30 systems were compromised, forcing some to revert to manual operations. One Georgia county issued a boil-water advisory but restored service quickly. Federal agencies suspect Iranian-linked hackers, citing tactics like exploiting default passwords similar to past attacks by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Thankfully, drinking water remains safe. The FBI, EPA, and CISA warned utilities in July to disconnect from the internet and strengthen security — and investigations continue as the threat evolves.
