Cyberattacks Hit Water Systems Across Multiple U.S. States
Water systems in Michigan and Minnesota have reported cyberattacks, prompting renewed concern over U.S. infrastructure security. Michigan officials said nine affected systems continued operating safely, with no known public health impacts. More than 30 systems in Minnesota were previously reported targeted. Michigan received a federal cyber alert on Tuesday before detecting suspicious activity consistent with federal warnings. The FBI is investigating but has not identified perpetrators. A recent advisory from the FBI and other agencies warned that Iranian hackers have been targeting water and wastewater systems and other critical infrastructure controls.
