Coordinated Cyberattack Targets 30+ Minnesota Water Systems as One Plant Goes Offline
More than 30 community water systems in Minnesota were hit in a coordinated digital attack, causing some plants to lose normal operations or communication tools. At least one water plant went offline, and some cities warned residents to reduce water use while officials respond.
Who is at risk
People living in Minnesota communities served by affected local water systems are most at risk, especially where cities have reported outages or service disruptions.
What to watch for
Watch for local government notices about water use limits, pressure changes, service interruptions, or updated safety guidance for drinking water.
What to do
Check alerts from your city or water provider now and follow any water-saving or safety instructions immediately, while storing a small supply of water if advised.
