Water systems in seven states were recently targeted by cyberattacks, prompting an FBI warning. The attacks compromised operational technology used to control water facilities, though the extent of disruption remains unclear. The FBI has not publicly identified the specific entities affected beyond confirming the multi-state nature of the incidents.
The agency believes these attacks are likely linked to Iran, building on a pattern of malicious cyber activity originating from the country. Wired reports that this is part of an ongoing series of Iranian-backed hacks targeting US critical infrastructure. The FBI is also reportedly exploring the use of AI-powered technology to proactively detect and prevent future crimes. xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, has filed a lawsuit attempting to block a state's ban on “nudification” technologies—tools that remove clothing from images—citing First Amendment concerns. Additionally, Democratic officials have reportedly learned lessons about avoiding scams after falling victim to one.
