Business Climate: Hawaiʻi landed dead last in CNBC’s 20-year business rankings, with the report pointing to weak infrastructure, high cost of doing business, and childcare costs dragging quality of life.

Cybersecurity & Utilities: The scope of cyberattacks on U.S. water systems is widening to at least seven states, with officials increasingly pointing to Iran, even as no water has been confirmed unsafe.
