Michigan and Minnesota are among at least seven states coping with cyberattacks aimed at disrupting water systems nationwide.

I will note that the US has been bombing municipal water supplies in Iran.

iran needs to target red states so trump will be forced to admit they are kicking his ass.

I wouldn’t be surprised if most red states have outdated water systems that are unable to be hacked remotely. Have to rely on good ol’ social engineering!! The operators probably have outdated brains that are susceptible.

They may be. They’ve only disclosed Michigan and Minnesota but other states were targeted. Very possible those are red states, but wouldn’t fit the insane narrative that it isn’t Iran.

If you were wondering “which states besides Michigan and Minnesota” the article says that the government declined to say. Hope I can save ya a click there.

A couple days ago only Minnesota was named. I wonder why they’re not being transparent right away.

Are they still blaming Tim Waltz for this, or are new scapegoats needed for the other states?

Well, the feds didn’t say that either, the author of the article got a response from a Michigan spokesperson

Too late. ICE has been doing that for sometime now.

The call is coming from inside the (white) house.

Thanks to Jizzrael making lesson plans on how to kill your own citizens for ICE. The US govt cozying up to the IDF in official capacity is sure to bring about increased fuckery.

Minnesota hacked Michigan just to try and throw us off the scent. Clearly this is happening because Minnesota is run by democrats and is trying to make the god emperor look bad

Trump said Minnesota did it to themselves, so now they’re probably doing it to other states. That damned Minnesota! Or maybe Trump shouldn’t have DOGE’d America’s cyberdefences.
