State and federal authorities continue to investigate a recent coordinated cyberattack on Minnesota municipal water systems.

Hackers disrupted technology controls at water towers and treatment plants in 

 last week. And the FBI says water and wastewater companies in at least six other states have reported incidents. 

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Thursday, MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with a cybersecurity expert about what we can do to protect the water systems, power grids and other public services we rely on.

What questions do you have about the cyberattack on Minnesota water systems? If you help keep essential services running, what do you think we should know about protecting them? Or what questions do you have about protecting yourself from cyberattacks — at home, at work or online?
