FBI and EPA Warn of Cyber Attacks on Internet-Facing Controllers in Water Systems

WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Environmental Protection Agency issued Public Service Announcement I-073026-PSA on July 30 stating that malicious cyber actors have conducted cyber attacks against Operational Technology devices, specifically Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 series Programmable Logic Controllers, in the Water and Wastewater Sector.

Since July 27, utility companies in at least seven states have reported incidents to the FBI, with some of the activity degrading water operations. After remotely accessing internet-facing devices, the actors changed IP addresses and passwords, producing a loss of monitoring and control functionality.

What Makes Rapid Alerts Different

Every item here clears a multi-step check before it reaches you. No raw wire copy. No speculation. Each alert is drawn from government, official, and verified primary sources, cross-checked and scored for reliability before publishing.

Alerts come through two paths: live monitoring of official and primary source feeds, and direct messages from our team when a development warrants immediate attention. Team messages are labeled "From our team."

The confidence chip on each alert tells you what kind of verification it carries, at a glance. Source attribution is included so you can trace every item back to its origin.

For detailed analysis and expanded reporting on major events, see the main Alerts page. The Rapid stream is built for speed on fast-moving developments.

Continuously updated. New items appear here as they clear verification.

Expanding Coverage: This stream is actively growing. New sources, regions, and alert categories are added on a regular basis. You may notice the coverage mix evolving as the network expands.

Reading the Confidence Chip

Each alert carries one chip that tells you its reliability level at a glance:

  • Tier 1: Highest confidence. Confirmed by multiple authoritative or official sources.
  • Tier 2: Strong but still developing. Backed by credible sources, with verification ongoing.
  • Multi-source: Cleared sourcing, consistency, and accuracy checks; corroborated by independent reports.

Every item also clears the same checks before publishing, whichever chip it carries; the box above explains what "cleared" means. Sourcing detail (how many independent reports, whether it is a primary/official source) is shown per-alert in its "Sources" line.

How to Use This Feed

  • Scan fast: The title, timestamp, and chips give you everything you need without reading the full alert.
  • Trust the chip: Tier 1 and Tier 2 mean confirmed by multiple sources, at different confidence levels. Multi-source means corroborated but not yet at tier confidence. Each alert's "Sources" line spells out the detail.
  • Check back: New items appear as they clear verification. The UTC clock shows you exactly how fresh the feed is.
  • Need more depth? Major events get full analysis on the main Alerts page.
