After hackers compromised an industrial control system (ICS) at a water utility in the United States, the cybersecurity agency CISA issued an alert over the exploitation of the targeted device.
The target of the attack was the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa in Pennsylvania, which confirmed that hackers took control of a system associated with a station where water pressure is monitored and regulated, but said there was no risk to the water supply or drinking water.
Based on publicly available information, the hackers targeted an Unitronics Vision system, which is a programmable logic controller (PLC) with an integrated human-machine interface (HMI).
