Leaked Memo Links Iranian Hackers to Minnesota Water Utility Cyberattacks
A leaked memo obtained by WIRED from the Water Information Sharing and Analysis Center (WaterISAC) links a series of cyberattacks targeting dozens of Minnesota water and wastewater utilities to Iran. The attacks, which caused boil-water notices and manual operations, align with a hacking campaign previously attributed to Iran by CISA. The incident represents a rare case of state-sponsored targeting of civilian infrastructure outside of Russia's war on Ukraine.
