Warning About Drinking Water Issued Nationwide
Story by Matthew Impelli • 18h
A warning about drinking water was issued nationwide this week over concerns about potential cyberattacks.
"Disabling cyberattacks are striking water and wastewater systems throughout the United States. These attacks have the potential to disrupt the critical lifeline of clean and safe drinking water, as well as impose significant costs on affected communities," Michael S. Regan, an administrator with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, said in a letter to governors nationwide.
"We are writing to describe the nature of these threats and request your partnership on important actions to secure water systems against the increasing risks from and consequences of these attacks," the letter added.
The letter noted that threat actors affiliated with the Iranian Government Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have executed several "malicious cyberattacks" against the U.S.'s infrastructure, such as drinking water systems.
