Coordinated Cyberattack Hits Over 30 Minnesota Water Systems

Minnesota water cyberattack programmable logic controllers Iranian-linked hackers FBI CISA

More than 30 community water systems in Minnesota were hit by a coordinated cyberattack on July 26‑27, 2026. The intrusion targeted internet‑exposed programmable logic controllers and other operational technology, forcing several utilities to switch to manual operation for a few hours. No drinking‑water contamination was reported and residents were not asked to reduce usage.

Federal agencies – the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – are assisting state officials in the investigation. Investigators say the tactics and tools resemble those used by Iranian‑affiliated groups such as CyberAv3ngers, but attribution remains unconfirmed. Similar incidents have been reported in at least six other U.S. states, bringing the total to seven states.

Political commentary accompanied the technical response; President Donald Trump publicly blamed Minnesota’s leadership rather than Iran for the attack. State and local officials continue to restore affected systems and to harden defenses against future cyber threats.
