According to Minnesota IT Services (MNIT), more than 30 community water systems were targeted on July 26 and 27.
Statements issued by some of the cities whose systems have been targeted – including Maple Plain, Braham, South St. Paul, and Plymouth – revealed that some “automated control functions” were affected.
