Multistate Water System Attacks Widen, Iran Suspected

Attacks against water systems have expanded to affect multiple states, with the incidents targeting inadequately secured programmable logic controllers that are exposed to the Internet. Iran is suspected of involvement in these incidents.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and critical infrastructure defenders must assess their control systems for Internet exposure and implement network segmentation to prevent attackers from reaching operational technology environments.
