The Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa in Pennsylvania has confirmed that hackers took control of a system associated with a booster station over the weekend, but said there was no risk to the water supply.
An Iran-linked hacktivist group calling itself Cyber Av3ngers has taken credit for the attack. The anti-Israel hackers appear to have targeted an industrial control system (ICS) made by Israeli company Unitronics.
Hacktivist groups often target ICS because they are well aware of the potential implications of hacking these types of devices and it helps them draw more attention to their cause.
