US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

Sweeping cyberattack on water systems in multiple states has US officials on edge​



The first public sign of the cyberattacks came from Minnesota authorities, who said that hackers on Sunday night and Monday morning targeted about 30 water systems in that state. The “likely desired impact” of the hackers’ intrusion at the water facilities was “to cause loss of system pressure and subsequent potential contamination of water supply,” said the memo distributed this week by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and obtained by CNN.

At a cabinet meeting Friday, President Donald Trump blamed Minnesota authorities for the hack and cast doubt on whether Iran was involved. “They like to say, “Oh, it’s Iran.’” Trump said. “Iran should be so lucky. Iran’s got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.”

The New York Times first reported on the possible Iran connection.
