We trust dozens of systems we never think about, water, power, the people who keep them running. In this episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze heads to TequeArepa with a member of her team to unpack a story that hits closer to home than most: a coordinated cyberattack on more than 30 community water systems across Minnesota.
Federal agencies have also warned about broader activity targeting the industrial equipment that runs water and wastewater systems nationwide, and Jen breaks down what actually happened, why it matters, and how a small industrial computer sitting on the public internet can become the weak link in something as essential as your tap water.
Key Topics Covered:
