Iranian Cyberattacks Target U.S. Water Systems | Tech News
Description
A wave of cyberattacks is crippling water utilities across 12 U.S. states, with over 30 Minnesota communities hit — some experiencing lost water pressure and even flooding. The FBI confirms incidents in at least seven states, and while no official attribution has been made, intelligence agencies are pointing squarely at Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as the likely culprit. These attacks target aging infrastructure with easily accessible internet-connected systems, suggesting a coordinated, high-stakes campaign. In Braham, Minnesota, residents were told to conserve water after their plant shut down; Maple Plain declared a state of emergency. Experts warn this isn’t just opportunistic hacking — it’s a deliberate escalation that could have serious real-world consequences.
