New Jersey, Alabama Join States Targeted in Water Cyberattacks

Hackers with Iranian links conducted cyberattacks against industrial control systems at water facilities across at least a dozen US states, including New Jersey and Alabama. The attacks targeted critical infrastructure responsible for water distribution and treatment.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and state/federal infrastructure defenders need to assess exposure of their ICS environments; nation-state targeting of water systems represents a direct threat to public safety and continuity of essential services.
