The EPA is urging community water systems to take immediate action so they can reduce their vulnerability against cyber attacks.
The agency issued an enforcement alert on Monday, stating that cyber attacks against water utilities are “increasing in frequency and severity across the country.” These attacks can allow adversaries to manipulate operational technology, which can cause disruption in the treatment, distribution, and storage of water, damage equipment and alter levels of chemicals to hazardous levels.
