US Investigates Cyberattacks on Minnesota Water Systems Amid Suspected Iran Links
US authorities are investigating cyberattacks on over 30 water systems in Minnesota, which temporarily disrupted services in some areas. While cybersecurity firms and officials suspect Iran-linked hacker groups, including CyberAv3ngers, no formal attribution has been made. The FBI and other agencies are examining the incidents amid recent warnings about Iranian cyber threats to critical infrastructure. Former officials note Iran's geopolitical motives, but some political figures dispute Iran's involvement, attributing the attacks to local issues. The investigation remains ongoing with no confirmed perpetrators.
