Ransomware Gangs Attack Three U.S. Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Ransomware gangs have silently hit three U.S. water and wastewater treatment facilities this year, in 2021, the U.S. government said in a joint cybersecurity advisory published by the FBI, NSA, CISA, and the EPA. The attacks — which had been previously unreported — took place in March, July, and August and hit facilities in Nevada, Maine, and California, respectively.
