A leaked cybersecurity memo circulating within the U.S. water industry has tied a wave of cyberattacks targeting dozens of Minnesota water utilities to Iran, marking one of the most significant attacks on American civilian infrastructure since the United States launched military operations against Iran earlier this year.
According to a report by WIRED, the communication, distributed to members of the Water Information Sharing and Analysis Center (WaterISAC), references an alert from the Minnesota Fusion Center concluding that the ongoing attacks are aligned with a cyber campaign previously attributed by U.S. authorities to Iran-affiliated hackers.
