Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, an Iranian hacking group known as CyberAv3ngers has been targeting U.S. water utilities that use Israel-manufactured Unitronics programmable logic controllers.

Some of the compromised devices had been connected to the open internet with a default password of “1111"

Congressmen ask DOJ to investigate water utility hack, warning it could happen anywhere

Share with your friends: cybersecurity (or the lack of #security) has real-world impacts. Here, the drinking water supply to the public wasn't compromised, but the water utility did have to switch to manual operations as a result of the cyber attack.

Congressmen ask DOJ to investigate water utility hack, warning it could happen anywhere

Three members of Congress are asking the U.S. Justice Department to investigate how hackers breached a water utility system near Pittsburgh. The attack prompted the nation’s top cyberdefense agency to warn other water and sewage-treatment utilities they may be vulnerable. In a letter released Thursday, the Pennsylvania lawmakers say Americans must know their drinking water and other basic infrastructure is safe. The Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, was the system targeted. An electronic calling card left by the hackers suggests they picked their target because it uses components made by an Israeli company.
