CBS News reports that the investigation includes assessing a possible link to Iran, suggesting federal scrutiny of international involvement. Global News similarly describes the growing number of attacks and emphasizes ongoing inquiries by federal and state officials. In the meantime, officials continue evaluating the scope of the incidents, including how widely affected systems are and whether there are common technical or operational patterns across the affected states. Authorities have not released definitive findings tying the attacks to any specific actor, and the investigations are described as ongoing. The situation is being monitored closely given concerns about the potential impact of cyberattacks on essential public services.
