Cyberattacks on water systems expand to 12 states as South Dakota, Georgia announce incidents

Cyberattacks on water systems are expanding, now affecting at least 12 states, with Iran suspected of being behind the campaign. The attacks, primarily targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs), have led to boil water advisories and operational disruptions. Federal agencies are urging immediate action to remove exposed PLCs from the internet and improve security protocols, highlighting the potential for significant disruption to critical infrastructure and national security.
