Water-Utility Cyberattacks Confirmed in 12 US States, Iran Now the Prime Suspect

The wave of intrusions into US municipal water systems has now been reported in at least 12 states, up from seven a week earlier, per sources briefed by federal officials. Iran is the prime suspect based on TTP overlap with prior CyberAv3ngers activity, though the FBI and EPA have not officially attributed. Officials say drinking water remains safe but some operators have been forced to fall back to manual controls.
