The hackers said the cyberattack was payback after US forces struck two reservoirs in Iran.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>An Iranian hacker group shared images of utility bills. <span class=\"credit\">SJV WATER<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOnly two days ago, [Trump] destroyed the water sources of the oppressed people of Sirik with multi-million-dollar rockets, inflicting forced thirst and suffering in 50-degree heat,\u201d Handala said in a statement to Iranian news outlets. \u201cToday, retribution has reached the heart of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iranian state media reported that the US strikes hit water storage facilities, while a local official said more than 20,000 people lost access to water.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the alarming claims, Handala said it would not shut off water service in California, describing the breach as a warning to President Donald Trump.
