US Water System May Be , Vulnerable to Cyberattack, by China, Russia and Iran.
CNBC reports that the United States
water system has been the target of a series
of cyberattacks over the past few years. .
In response, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been forced to issue an alert warning
that 70% of water systems do not comply
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
According to the EPA, some have “alarming
cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” including
unchanged default passwords and former
employees who retain access to vital systems.
In February, the FBI issued a warning to
Congress that Chinese hackers have embedded
themselves into the U.S. cyber infrastructure. .
Those hackers have targeted water treatment
plants, the electrical grid, transportation
systems and other vital infrastructure.

lab how operations, such as
a water plant, could be shut
down not just for hours or
days, but for weeks, Adam Isles, head of cybersecurity
practice for Chertoff Group, via CNBC.
Recently, EPA Administrator Michael Regan and
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan sent a letter
to governors stressing the urgency of the threat. .

The U.S. has expanded permission for Ukraine to use American-made weapons against targets in Russia, not limited to the Kharkiv region. This doesn't represent a policy change, as Biden previously allowed strikes near the border. However, long-range attacks deep into Russia remain prohibited. U.S. officials confirm this aligns with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan's statement about Ukraine's right to defend against cross-border attacks.

In a troubling development, terrorists operating in Jammu and Kashmir have increasingly been wielding American-made M4 carbine assault rifles, a trend experts describe as alarming. These rifles, originally part of the US Army's arsenal, have allegedly made their way into the hands of militants through Pakistani handlers, following the American withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
