State officials in New Jersey confirmed Wednesday that hackers with suspected ties to Iran have launched cyberattacks against two municipal water utilities within the state. The intrusions marked a concerning escalation in targeting of the nation’s critical infrastructure systems.
Authorities have attributed the attacks to Iranian threat actors, though detailed information about the scope of the breaches and potential damage to operations remained limited. The incidents underscore growing vulnerabilities facing water systems across the United States to sophisticated state-sponsored cyber operations.
Federal and state cybersecurity agencies are investigating the attacks and coordinating with the affected water utilities to assess the extent of unauthorized access and determine whether any operational systems were compromised.
