Here's the Scoop · FBI Warning About Cyberattacks on U.S. Infrastructure; Does Todd Blanche Have a Path to Confirmation? · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

Hi, Dan.

So we had been hearing about these attacks in Minnesota, which now seem to be more widespread.

Explain what happened here and the impact.

So what was the fallout, though, the impact?

Like, did people not have water?

What did local officials do?

Like, could I have known if I'm living in Minnesota that there was a cyber attack on the water facilities there, aside from reading the news?

The FBI is now saying similar things have happened in seven states as well, seven other states, I should say, as well.

It seems like they are linked to, that they have, quote, I should say, hallmarks of Iranian hackers, as you mentioned.

What are these, quote, unquote, hallmarks?

And how do they go about determining this?

So the president actually dismissed this Iran link during his cabinet meeting today.

So in spite of what we're hearing from the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency that you just talked about in the lead up to these attacks, the president saying that it's not Iran, it's Minnesota.

And we know the president obviously does not have a good relationship with Minnesota's governor, Governor Walz, who is a Democrat.

Why would, though, Iran target Minnesota's water infrastructure?

What is the objective in doing that?

I want to talk a little bit about the vulnerabilities here, too, because you mentioned, like, maybe they go after these certain water infrastructure plants because they are more vulnerable.

They don't have as much cybersecurity.

Two years ago, the EPA actually warned that these kinds of attacks were increasing for a while, and they issued an alert that 70 percent of water utilities were not up to standards.

How are things looking now?
