Cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure spread to 12 states
The FBI and CISA have confirmed a significant expansion of cyberattacks targeting water providers, now affecting at least 12 U.S. states, including Michigan, Minnesota, and Georgia. While no immediate water safety alerts have been issued, the campaign—linked to foreign state-sponsored actors—has forced several facilities to pull internet-facing equipment offline to prevent system breaches. Authorities warned that the speed of the campaign is outstripping federal response capabilities, leading to urgent national security calls for localized infrastructure hardening.
