Michigan has confirmed that cyberattacks affected nine of the state's water systems, joining Minnesota, where officials reported malicious activity at more than 30 systems days earlier. State officials in both places say the same thing about the outcome that matters most to households: the water is safe.
Dale George, communications director for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, said in a statement reported by The Associated Press that "all systems continued to operate safely," that issues were addressed by local operators, and that there are no known impacts posing a public health concern.
