#CISA revealed in August that #hackers had targeted more than 100 internet-exposed systems in #America’s #water and #wastewater sector during July. #FederalAgencies have separately warned about Iranian-affiliated actors exploiting programmable logic controllers used to operate #physical #machinery within #CriticalInfrastructure.

That should concern Americans, but hacking is only one potential method of #attacking the systems upon which modern #society depends.

There is another scenario that could be exponentially worse.

#America’s #Infrastructure Is Already Being Targeted

A Telegram channel presenting itself as a voice for Iranian cyber operations recently issued an ominous warning: “Soon, the #UnitedStates will #witness unexpected and critical events in the #energy, #water, and #telecommunications industries.”

The #threat comes as tensions between #Washington and Tehran continue escalating. House #Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford said #Iran remains a persistent threat, particularly against America’s critical infrastructure and #CyberSystems. Recent Iranian-linked #attempts have reportedly targeted automated systems #connected to the #internet, although officials say the latest #attacks have not produced major #disruptions.

#Prophecy #News Watch : Could #China Or #Russia Turn Off #America?

America’s #enemies do not necessarily have to destroy our cities to cripple the country. They may only need to make those cities stop functioning.

That uncomfortable reality is coming into focus as Iranian-linked #hackers #threaten #attacks against America’s #energy, #water and #telecommunications #infrastructure, while #lawmakers are simultaneously raising alarms about the potentially much larger threat posed by #ElectromagneticPulse #weapons.

The two threats are very different, but they expose the same #weakness: modern America is #extraordinarily dependent upon #InterconnectedSystems, and when one fails, it can begin pulling others down with it.
