Water system cyberattacks spread to at least 12 states

Cyberattacks targeting water systems have spread across at least 12 U.S. states, following a reported incident in Minnesota last week. Officials suspect these attacks may be linked to Iran-backed hackers, according to sources familiar with the matter. The situation has drawn attention from homeland security experts as multiple states report vulnerabilities in their critical water infrastructure. These security breaches highlight a growing trend of cyber threats directed at essential public utilities across the United States.
