- The FBI is investigating another cyberattack in the United States’ water sector, this time involving a small developer of water utility technology.
- The breach at the Kansas firm was apparently not part of a suspected Iranian-affiliated campaign against water plants in Minnesota and other states starting in July but highlights growing threats to water infrastructure.
- Both the company and the FBI have confirmed the breach at Micro-Comm in Olathe, Kansas, which had not been previously reported.
