Ciberataques vinculados a Irán afectan sistemas de agua en más de doce estados de EE. UU.

Funcionarios federales dijeron que las intrusiones cibernéticas coordinadas que accedieron a los sistemas de control de los servicios de agua municipales en al menos doce estados de EE.  UU. fueron probablemente llevadas a cabo por actores vinculados a Irán, según informó el 7 de agosto.

Los ataques se produjeron después de una serie de vulneraciones iniciadas a finales de julio, cuando hackers comprometieron la tecnología operativa de más de 30 sistemas de agua en Minnesota los días 26 y 27 de julio, lo que desencadenó una respuesta estatal sin interrupciones en el suministro. Posteriormente, se confirmó el acceso no autorizado al sistema de control de un proveedor de agua potable en Oregón, y el FBI y la EPA advirtieron a los operadores de al menos siete estados, vinculando la campaña a Irán.
