This is probably fake fear mongering propaganda from the feds designed to:
1.) manufacture consent for their war of choice 2.) excuse problems from ever crumbling infrastructure here in the US
That being said, Iran has every right to do this and worse, given what we keep doing to them.

Its very possibly real. I work with a similar Rockwell PLC and advise all my customers not to allow WAN communication with the devices because of this very issue. The security in the PLC program widely varies depending on who programmed it and most places are not willing to change default passwords. Its a receipt for disaster.
