Cyberattacks Target Water Systems | Richmond News

from Richmond News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Cyberattacks are hitting water systems across seven states, with dozens of incidents reported—including 30 in Minnesota and 9 in Michigan—targeting critical infrastructure that could disrupt everything from tap water to emergency services. Federal agencies suspect Iran behind the attacks, warning that aging tech and limited IT staff at local utilities make them prime targets. While no contamination has reached taps yet, officials urge immediate disconnection of vulnerable systems from the internet. This escalating threat highlights how deeply intertwined our physical and digital infrastructure is—and how fragile it can be under cyber assault.
