🚨⛔️BREAKING: 🇮🇷🛑Iran Reportedly Trying to Hack Range of U.S. Infrastructure.. In Comments

Iranian-linked hackers are reportedly probing critical American infrastructure as Tehran searches for new ways to retaliate against the United States.

The latest threat reportedly targets water systems, telecommunications networks, energy infrastructure, and

other internet-connected automated equipment across the country.

Four people with access to government and industry cyberthreat information told NBC News the attempted intrusions occurred during recent weeks.

Those sources said the newest efforts have so far failed, offering some reassurance amid the escalating confrontation with Iran.

Still, cybersecurity experts warn relatively simple attacks can cause serious problems when outdated industrial equipment remains directly connected online.

A Telegram channel presenting itself as an Iranian cyberoperations voice issued a stark warning Sunday about potential attacks against America.

“Soon, the United States will witness unexpected and critical events in the energy, water, and telecommunications industries,” APT IRAN declared.

The group offered no public evidence proving that it had successfully breached any American system when issuing that ominous statement.

The warning follows heightened concern surrounding municipal water utilities already struck by disruptive cyber activity across multiple states during July.

The FBI and Environmental Protection Agency said water utilities in at least seven states reported cyber incidents beginning July 27.

Hackers remotely accessed internet-facing programmable logic controllers, devices responsible for monitoring and

controlling essential industrial operations at affected facilities.

The command said those forces remain “vigilant, lethal, and prepared”…

Federal investigators said attackers changed IP addresses and passwords, causing some utilities to lose monitoring and control functionality temporarily.

Officials later said malicious actors targeted more than 100 internet-exposed water and wastewater systems during the July cyber campaign.

Federal authorities have investigated possible Iranian involvement, but the FBI has not publicly made a definitive attribution for those attacks.

Nevertheless, Iranian state-backed hackers have a documented history of targeting American organizations and exploiting poorly protected operational technology.

CISA repeatedly warned infrastructure operators this summer to reduce internet exposure and strengthen protections around equipment controlling physical processes.

Federal guidance recommends removing controllers from direct internet exposure while using firewalls, secure gateways, unique passwords, and strict access controls.

Smaller municipal utilities remain particularly vulnerable because many operate aging technology without the cybersecurity resources available to major corporations.

That weakness makes basic intrusion techniques dangerous when hackers can reach devices

controlling pumps, valves, pressure, and treatment equipment.
