  "summary": "Georgia and Michigan are the latest US states to report cyberattacks on their water systems, with the FBI currently investigating incidents across at least seven states. While Iran-backed hackers are the leading suspects, the FBI has not publicly attributed the campaign. Both states reported that water facilities detected activity consistent with the attacks on over 30 Minnesota sites last week, but no operational disruption or public health consequences were reported.",
