熟悉事件内情的消息人士周三向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，美国供水系统遭遇网络攻击，官员怀疑此次攻击可能与伊朗支持的黑客有关，目前至少有12个州报告了此类事件。
受影响的州包括密歇根州、明尼苏达州、佐治亚州、新泽西州和南达科他州。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前获悉，仅明尼苏达州一地就有超过30个社区供水系统受到波及。
在佐治亚州，服务亚特兰大地区30万用户的克莱顿县水务局表示，上月的网络活动导致水压下降，迫使该机构发布了煮沸饮用水的公告。不过服务在数小时内便恢复正常。
部分水务公司失去了关键的远程控制能力，操作人员被迫切换至手动模式。在多起案例中，黑客获得了水泵、阀门和水压的远程访问权限。
据官员透露，截至目前，这些网络攻击未对饮用水安全造成任何影响，供水仍保持安全状态。
7月30日，美国联邦调查局、环境保护署以及网络安全与基础设施安全局联合发出警告称，网络威胁行为人已远程访问了至少7个州的供水和废水处理系统在线基础设施，“导致监控和控制功能失效”。
相关水务机构被建议将其操作系统与互联网断开连接，并加强密码保护和防火墙部署。
尽管联邦调查人员怀疑此次攻击的幕后黑手是伊朗支持的黑客，但尚未作出正式归因。
此次攻击手法与2023年“复仇者网络”（CyberAv3ngers）的行动类似，该组织与伊朗革命卫队有关联，曾利用默认密码入侵供水系统控制器。

At least 12 states report cyberattacks on water systems possibly linked to Iran-backed hackers, sources say

Cyberattacks on U.S. water systems that officials suspect may be linked to Iran-backed hackers have been reported in at least a dozen states, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News on Wednesday.
Those states include Michigan, Minnesota, Georgia, New Jersey and South Dakota. In Minnesota specifically, more than 30 community water systems were impacted, CBS News previously learned.
In Georgia, the Clayton County Water Authority, which serves 300,000 customers in the Atlanta area, said cyber activity last month caused a water pressure drop and forced the agency to issue a boil water advisory. Service was restored within hours, however.
Some utilities have lost critical remote-control capabilities, forcing operators to switch to manual mode. In several cases, the hackers gained remote access to pumps, valves and water pressure.
So far, according to officials, the cyberattacks have had no impact on drinking water, which has remained safe.
On July 30, the FBI, Environmental Protection Agency and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency all warned that cyber threat actors had remotely accessed online infrastructure for water and wastewater systems in at least seven states, “resulting in a loss of monitoring and control functionality.”
The water agencies were advised to disconnect their operating programs from the internet and strengthen their password protections and firewalls.
While federal investigators suspect Iran-backed hackers are behind the attacks, they have not made any formal attribution.
The tactics resemble a 2023 campaign by the CyberAv3ngers, a group linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which tapped into water-system controllers using default passwords.
