US says hackers are targeting vulnerable water systems with the help of AI

Hackers are actively targeting internet-connected Siemens controllers deployed in water facilities across the United States. The attackers are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance their targeting capabilities against these critical infrastructure assets.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and critical infrastructure defenders must immediately audit exposed Siemens controllers and restrict internet connectivity to these devices; water supply disruption poses direct public health risk.
