Coordinated Cyberattacks Target US Water Infrastructure Amid Rising Tensions

Federal agencies are investigating a series of coordinated cyberattacks against water utilities across at least seven US states. These incidents, which began around July 27, have disrupted water operations by targeting internet-connected industrial control devices. While no public attribution has been formally made, investigators increasingly suspect Iranian-linked hackers are behind the intrusions. The FBI and EPA have issued a joint public warning, highlighting the growing threat to critical civilian infrastructure in modern conflicts.
