CISA confirms hackers targeted over 100 US water systems during July

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed that hackers targeted more than 100 U.S. water systems during July. The attacks are suspected to be backed by Iran and represent a significant wave of intrusions against critical water infrastructure.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and critical infrastructure teams need to review access logs, segment networks, and validate backup systems immediately, as nation-state adversaries have demonstrated operational capability against this sector.
