30+ Water Systems Attacked in One Weekend.
Is Yours Exposed? 

In late July, attackers disrupted municipal water systems across at least 12 states — using nothing more than internet-exposed control devices and passwords that were never changed. Join our 60-minute briefing to see where your district actually stands. 

SAVE MY SEAT — AUG 20
 The threat:

More than 30 municipal water systems in Minnesota and nine in Michigan were hit by coordinated cyberattacks in late July 2026. The FBI has confirmed activity in at least 12 states, and CISA's July 30 alert found thousands of similarly exposed control devices at water utilities nationwide — "of all sizes… including some with mature cybersecurity programs." None of it required sophisticated hacking. It required an exposed device and a password that was never changed.
