FBI investigates Micro-Comm water-tech cyberattack

US authorities are probing a data breach at Micro-Comm, a Kansas maker of water-utility technology, after Barracuda claimed access to nearly 850,000 files; the incident comes amid a broader wave of PLC-focused attacks on US water systems that some experts link to Iranian-linked campaigns. The breach highlights the ongoing cybersecurity vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, with the FBI and CISA coordinating with Micro-Comm and noting that no passwords or remote-access data were included in the released files.
