Cyberattacks hit US water systems in 7 states
Water systems in the states of Minnesota and Michigan in the United States have come under cyberattacks. Hackers gained remote access to internet-connected devices and changed Internet Protocol addresses and passwords, leading to disruptions in control and monitoring operations. Authorities in these two states, along with reports from six other states, have implemented measures to counter the threats, emphasizing that the systems remain operational and that the public health threat is not imminent. Sources suspect that Iran is behind these increasing attacks, which mainly targeted water systems and public sector facilities, as part of a cyber campaign aimed at American infrastructure security.
