Investigators believe Iranian hackers were likely behind a cyberattack this week that disrupted roughly 36 municipal water systems across Minnesota, according to a New York Times report citing U.S. and state officials. The attack forced at least one well and treatment plant offline and prompted others to switch to manual operations, though drinking water safety was not compromised. Officials stressed the investigation remains ongoing and cautioned that the attackers may have deliberately posed as Iranian to mislead investigators.
