The recent cyber campaign targeting the water and wastewater sector in the United States has hit at least seven states as more information has come to light regarding Iran’s connection to the hacker attacks.
Minnesota reported last week that operational technology (OT) systems at more than 30 water and wastewater facilities were targeted in a cyberattack on July 26 and 27.
Only a handful of cities issued public statements about the attack. One city briefly took down its water plant in response, but most reported no operational impact, reassuring citizens that drinking water remains safe.
