Hackers infiltrated the control system at a water treatment plant and managed to manipulate the level of chemicals being used at the facility, according to recent reports.
The news comes from a report by Verizon Security Solutions, the phone giant’s cybersecurity arm, as reported by the International Business Times.
“Verizon states in its latest report that a group of hackers who have been previously associated with hacktivism campaigns succeeded in breaching a water treatment facility,” International Business Times reported.
“Due to the sensitive nature of the breach, which gave the hackers access to the personal and financial records of over 2.5 million customers, Verizon is not releasing the name of the water company or the country it resides in, referring to the company by the fake moniker ‘Kemuri Water Company’ (KWC),” the report said.
