Cyberattacks at Water Systems in Colorado

September 24, 2026

INCIDENT

Two small water utility systems in Colorado suffered a cyberattack late last month and it appears foreign threat actors conducted the hack, state officials said.
This attack occurred after hackers hit water facilities in other states like in Minnesota where over 30 small water systems ended up hit. Federal officials associated those attacks with threat actors affiliated with Iran.
It remains uncertain as to who the threat actors were or if the attempted interference was related to the July hacking attempts that affected 12 states
