The attacks, which forced some facilities to switch to manual operations, have raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure. Investigators are exploring links to Iranian-backed hackers, but attribution has not been formally confirmed. In this video, we break down what&#8217;s confirmed, what&#8217;s still unknown, and why officials say this doesn&#8217;t look financially motivated. We&#8217;ll cover the latest updates on the cyberattacks, including the affected states, the potential motives behind the attacks, and the ongoing federal investigation.<br \/>\n\u23f1\ufe0f TIMESTAMPS<br \/>\n0:00 Introduction to the cyberattacks on US water systems<br \/>\n0:30 The FBI\/EPA joint advisory and its implications<br \/>\n1:00 The links to Iranian-backed hackers and the ongoing investigation<br \/>\n2:00 The affected states, including Minnesota and Michigan<br \/>\n3:00 The potential motives behind the attacks and why they may not be financially motivated<br \/>\n4:00 The latest updates on the federal investigation and what&#8217;s still unknown<br \/>\nSources: CBS News, NBC News, Washington Post, Forbes, UPI (as of August 1, 2026)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FBI and EPA have issued a joint advisory after a series of cyberattacks hit water and wastewater<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lisa-cabrera"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hqdefault-26.jpg?fit=480%2C360&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blackhistoryinthebible.com\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
