The New York Times has published an op-ed piece on water system cybersecurity. The article’s authors, who include the special agent in charge of the FBI’s New York Special Operations and Cyber Division, assert that water systems are vulnerable to “a wide range of hackers.” Among other incidents and threats, the column references a 2016 breach of a water utility, which was actually a composite of several incidents that was presented in a Verizon cybersecurity report (read more here). The authors call for additional applied cybersecurity guidance from federal agencies and recommend rapid and frequent sharing of incident information within the sector. The New York Times.
