According to a report from CISA last week, there were three ransomware attacks against water treatment plants last year.
WWS Sector cyber intrusions from 2019 to early 2021 include:

- In July 2021, cyber actors used remote access to introduce ZuCaNo ransomware onto a Maine-based WWS facility’s wastewater SCADA computer. The treatment system was run manually until the SCADA computer was restored using local control and more frequent operator rounds.

A clearer picture of poor security practices in Oldsmar, Florida prior to the dangerous hack of its water treatment plant is beginning to emerge, even as an investigation into the matter continues one week after the incident. Three federal agencies teamed up with an organization that shares threat information between states to issue an alert late Thursday explaining how the breach, in which a hacker allegedly tried to raise sodium hydroxide levels to amounts that are harmful to humans, might have unfolded. Initial clues suggest the incident, which was detected before it amounted to a threat to public drinking water, was made possible by lax data protection strategies and exploitation of a software tool. “The cyber actors likely accessed the system by exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses, including poor password security, and an outdated operating system,” reads the alert from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Environmental […]
