@sacramentourbanmedia916: Possible cyberattacks targeting water and wastewater utilities have been reported in at least 12 states, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. While officials have not publicly identified those responsible, sources told ABC News that Iran is considered the leading suspect. Investigators are continuing to examine the incidents, and no official attribution has been announced. The reported intrusions are believed to be capable of disrupting utility operations by altering passwords, disabling alarms, or limiting operators’ ability to monitor systems. Despite the activity, officials say there have been no widespread interruptions to drinking water service or wastewater treatment. In response, the FBI has advised utilities to strengthen cybersecurity by disconnecting internet-connected systems when possible, using physical breakers where available, and ensuring staff are prepared to operate systems manually if automated controls are compromised. Michigan is among the states reporting suspicious activity. State police said they are working alongside federal agencies and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to notify municipal water providers and encourage facilities using the affected software to implement recommended security measures. Michigan officials said local operators quickly addressed the issues, all water systems continued operating safely, and there have been no known threats to public health. The FBI is leading the investigation into the reported cyber incidents.#fyp #viral
