There you have it! Seven U.S. agencies just dropped an emergency advisory. Iranian hackers are actively inside American water treatment plants and energy grids. RIGHT NOW.
Not "could be." Inside. Manipulating the systems that control your drinking water and power.
Let that sink in.
IRGC-affiliated actors are exploiting internet-exposed Rockwell and Allen-Bradley PLCs. They are manipulating SCADA and HMI screens. An operator in Ohio could see a green dashboard while an Iranian hacker changes the chemical mix in the city's water supply.
Read that again.
We saw this with the CyberAv3ngers in 2023. We just saw Handala wipe 80,000 devices at Stryker. Now, attacks are causing real operational disruptions.
How is that acceptable?
I sat in the Pentagon as the first Chief Software Officer and warned about exactly this.
As I wrote in my upcoming book, REPLACEMENT (launching around end of July):
"The United States has hundreds of fragmented electric companies. Hundreds of water companies. All separate. All running different systems. All with barely any cyber oversight, cyber enforcement, or penetration testing."
It's not "concerning." It's not "needs improvement." It's BAD. The kind of bad that keeps you up at night.
And it gets worse.
While Iran is inside our water systems, we're debating ChatGPT policies. You think Beijing isn't taking notes?
The government's official recommendation? "Disconnect PLCs from the internet." In 2026. A DISGRACE.
This isn't about politics. This is about whether your kids have clean water tomorrow.
Time to wake up!
