Summary
Iran-linked hackers calling themselves Handala claim breach of California water systems in Bakersfield, Visalia, and Chico, leaking customer billing data and threatening to shut off water — though officials say operations remain intact and billing systems unaffected. Experts caution that while direct control of water flow may not have been achieved, access to billing systems could be a stepping stone to deeper attacks. Customers are urged to guard against scams and identity theft using leaked data. The investigation continues, raising alarms about critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.
