  "account": "Munich-based technology conglomerate Siemens warns US authorities of potential hacker attacks targeting its infrastructure technology systems. The devices used for controlling critical infrastructures are deemed to be at risk of an \"active threat\", according to experts from the National Security Agency (NSA), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A successful attack could disrupt critical processes, cause safety incidents, or lead to facility damage, they announced on Wednesday.\n\nThe warning comes amid a surge of cyberattacks on local water supply systems in several US states over recent weeks. Experts suspect that these attacks may be linked to Iran, with hackers reportedly employing artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations. CISA had previously issued a warning on July 30th about a significant increase in attacks on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) manufactured by Siemens.",
