Multiple outlets reported that U.S. officials and cybersecurity experts attributed the cyberattacks to Iran, though President Donald Trump expressed a belief that Iran was not responsible for the failures in water systems.
Regardless of which hostile power launched the attack, the Maine DEP is urging water infrastructure facilities to implement security measures.
The DEP also urged facilities to report any suspicious activities and incidents to law enforcement, tech providers, and DEP inspectors.
