7 States' Water Systems Hit by Cyberattacks Likely Tied to Iran The recent wave of cyberattacks targeting water utilities in seven US states has exposed the vulnerability of America's critical infrastructure.
While the exact extent of the damage is still unclear, one thing is certain: these attacks have compromised industrial control systems and raised concerns about Iranian involvement.
The FBI warns that attackers may have disabled critical controls, leading to boil water notices. Water contamination could have catastrophic consequences for public health and the economy.
