AI Summary

A leaked memo sent to the Water Information Sharing and Analysis Center (WaterISAC) links a wave of cyberattacks on Minnesota water and wastewater utilities to Iranian hackers. The memo, obtained by WIRED, identifies dozens of utilities that were targeted after the U.S. launched its war against Iran in late February. It claims the attacks are part of Iran’s broader retaliation, following earlier intrusions that disrupted a medical supplies company and accessed the personal email of FBI director Kash Patel. The memo describes the Minnesota strikes as the widest and most disruptive attack by Iran on U.S. infrastructure since the war began.
