ABC News reports “of all the country’s critical infrastructure, water might be the most vulnerable to hackers: the hardest in which to guarantee everyone follows basic cybersecurity steps, and the easiest in which to cause major, real-world harm to large numbers of people.” Many onsite service providers also work in the municipal field where malicious attacks are taking on a national significance.
