The alert says hackers have disrupted several critical infrastructure sectors and caused operational shutdowns and financial losses, officials said.
- U.S. federal agencies recently confirmed that hackers linked to the Iranian government successfully breached industrial control systems across several states, specifically targeting equipment used in municipal water and wastewater facilities.
- The attackers gained access by exploiting default passwords on internet-connected programmable logic controllers manufactured by an Israeli company, allowing them to disrupt operations and display political messages on system screens.

- In response to these vulnerabilities, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has urged utility operators to immediately strengthen security protocols, such as implementing multi-factor authentication and changing all factory-set credentials.
