Four federal agencies have issued a joint advisory warning of ongoing cyber threats against systems that help operate various U.S. waterways and water systems.
Issued on Thursday evening, the advisory was formally issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Security Agency. It identifies both IT and operation technology, or OT, networks within the U.S. Water and Wastewater Systems (WWS) Sector facilities as being vulnerable to “malicious cyber activity,” which could lead to interruptions in communities’ access to clean water.
