GAO report warns US water and wastewater systems are vulnerable to hackers

As we monitor the cybersecurity / "Iran hackers" space, the GAO just issued a fresh warning that US water infrastructure is largely insecure: old, pre-internet systems without any authentication have been glued with connected components — and the report claims foreign hackers have already found their way in and attacked, including ransomware attacks.

The report describes how an attack on highly vulnerable critical water infrastructure could cause service disruptions and environmental damage, as well as cripple downstream systems including the power grid, hospitals/healthcare, food & agriculture, and so forth.
