This is nothing short of a jihad attack on American soil by Iranian loyalists. The Cyber Av3ngers group further pledged to attack “any entities with products or ties to Israel,” claiming that it had already attacked ten water treatment plants in Israel.
Israel is a springboard to the next phase of jihad. Attempts at subversion in the West entered a more concrete phase after Western leaders failed to recognize the psychological warfare that stealth jihadists had been engaged in for years as they manipulated a victimology subterfuge. Physical threats, violence, and incitement to violence against Jews and the state of Israel at pro-Palestinian demonstrations are included in this new phase.
I am closely monitoring this cyberattack on the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa. My office is in touch with leadership, which reports that there has been no loss of water service for folks.https://t.co/T3wHewSjTM

Politicians are now scrambling to deal with the jihad against Israel as it is becoming overtly global. They have failed to take any significant notice, but in fact, there has been a longstanding jihad against the West. This is evident in Muslim attacks on free speech (by means of charges of “Islamophobia”), the mass migration hijrah — which has been enabled by globalists — and physical threats to those who are perceived as having insulted Islam.
Iran’s longstanding Islamic war on the West — aided by Democrat funding (See also HERE and HERE) — includes Iranian loyalists everywhere.
America should immediately strip all funding to the UN and Palestinian territories, since the U.S. will need those billions to upgrade its national security infrastructure and, one hopes, deal with its border disaster.
“Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa hacked by Iranian-backed cyber group,” by Erika Stanish, CBS News, November 28, 2023:
ALIQUIPPA, Pa. (KDKA) – The Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa said on Saturday that one of their booster stations had been hacked by an Iranian-backed cyber group.
Matthew Mottes, the chairman of the board of directors for the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa, confirmed to KDKA-TV that the cyber group, known as Cyber Av3ngers, took control of one of the stations. An alarm went off as soon as the hack had occurred.
Mottes added that the station, located on the outskirts of town, monitors and regulates pressure for Raccoon and Potter Townships and stressed that there is no known risk to the drinking water or water supply.
The machine that was hacked uses a system called Unitronics, which Mottes says is software or has components that are Israeli-owned.
The system has since been disabled. Members of the Pa. State Police were called to the booster station on Saturday to begin a criminal investigation….

Access to these types of networks should not be accessible to the outside. There should be encryption devices or software that precludes any outside entity from accessing them. Power grids is another type of network that should definitely contain encryption to prevent being hacked. One other point is that passwords need to be at least twelve characters and changed every sixty days.
Mike Gardner says
Your comment is well-intentioned, but the actual issues surrounding exploit interdiction at such facilities are considerably more complex than your unspecified “encryption devices or software” or a robust password policy.

And there are those who want to do away with money and do all transaction on your phone because they claim its safer, BS.
SKA says
“There is no known risk to the drinking water or water supply.” Surely the Authority meant “no known damages.” There are risks aplenty.
