Weak and Exposed: US Water Utilities a Chinese Hacker Target

I wrote this follow up on the 60 Minutes interview with former NSA Director and Cyber Command Chief Gen Tim Haugh last week. 60 Minutes looked at chinese efforts to preposition hackers inside the systems of vital service providers like power and water utilities, so they could be sabotaged during or preceding a conflict with the US. My story looks at a couple of volunteer efforts to secure water utilities, which are the critical infrastructure providers most likely to be below the cybersecurity poverty line. I hope you find it interesting. submitted by /u/WatermanReports [link] [comments]
