Iran-Linked Hackers Target U.S. Water Systems | Washington DC News

Hackers are ramping up attacks on U.S. water systems, targeting the programmable logic controllers that run them — even changing passwords and disconnecting equipment in some cases. Following a major coordinated cyberattack in Minnesota that hit over 30 community water systems (without contaminating the water), investigators suspect Iranian-linked groups, who’ve been probing U.S. infrastructure for years — including transit systems like LA’s. The FBI flagged this threat months ago, and this latest wave confirms the pattern: critical infrastructure remains dangerously exposed, demanding urgent, sustained cybersecurity defenses.
