Another Cyber Attack Affecting Water Supply

Abstract:

Cyber security has an often forgotten physical aspect– security breaches occur “offline” as well. A previous employee of a water processing plant shut down processing features of the plant remotely. Worryingly, both the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI both insist that water infrastructure is a key focus for Russian cyber attacks. Hackers can change physical infrastructures from afar, introducing even more threat to account for.
