Iran-Linked Hackers Target More US Water Infrastructure in New Jersey and Alabama
Iran-linked hackers hit water utilities in New Jersey and Alabama, bringing confirmed US water-infrastructure attacks to at least 12 states.
Iran-linked hackers attacked the Cape May Sewer Department and Woodbine Water Department in New Jersey and the Childersburg Water, Sewer and Gas system in Alabama on July 27, bringing confirmed US water-sector attacks to at least 12 states since late July. The intrusions targeted internet-exposed industrial control systems, including Rockwell Automation PLCs, with roughly 12 hours of impact in New Jersey and no impact on water quality or service. The FBI confirmed seven affected states by July 30, and CISA has urged utilities to remove PLCs from direct internet exposure. New York announced more than $9 million in grants to strengthen water-sector cybersecurity.
