Iran Suspected in US Water System Cyberattacks

US officials warned that hackers, likely linked to Iran, are increasingly targeting American water systems after cyberattacks disrupted operations at more than 30 facilities in Minnesota.

A leaked memo from the water utilities information sharing group WaterISAC linked dozens of the breaches to Iranian actors.

The FBI is investigating the attacks as part of a growing pattern of assaults on critical American infrastructure.

The breaches have heightened concerns about the vulnerability of essential public utility systems to state-sponsored cyber operations.
