When War Reaches the Water Tower
America's war with Iran may have reached a Minnesota water tower. On July 26 and 27, hackers targeted more than 30 community water systems across Minnesota. In Braham, attackers temporarily shut down computerized controls for the city's well and treatment plant, leaving the community dependent on water already stored in its tower. Within days, the FBI reported similar incidents involving water and wastewater utilities in at least seven states, some causing lost pressure and flooding.
