FBI is investigating cyberattacks on water systems in Michigan after similar incidents were reported in Minnesota. The attacks are part of a broader pattern of cyber intrusions targeting critical infrastructure, with the FBI warning that Iranian hackers have been focusing on such systems.
The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget confirmed that its water systems were compromised, though details remain limited. Officials are working with federal agencies to assess the impact and secure the systems. The FBI has previously issued alerts about Iranian-linked groups targeting U.S. Infrastructure, including energy and water systems.
Minnesota also reported a cyberattack on its water infrastructure, though the extent of the damage is still under investigation. Both states have emphasized the need for improved cybersecurity measures to protect essential services. The FBI is currently analyzing the source of the attacks and has not yet confirmed a direct link to Iranian actors.
The incidents highlight growing concerns about state-sponsored cyber threats to U.S. Infrastructure.
