What we know about the alleged Iranian hacks on US water utilities

Hackers have targeted and breached multiple US water utility systems in recent weeks, with allegations pointing to Iranian government involvement. The incident represents a wave of coordinated attacks on critical water infrastructure.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and federal agencies overseeing critical infrastructure must immediately assess their exposure to similar attacks and coordinate incident response, as nation-state actors targeting water systems pose direct public health and safety risks.
