A video by a Russian hacking group claiming responsibility for last week’s cyberattack on Tipton West Wastewater Treatment Plant in Indiana surfaced on social media Thursday. It’s evidence of the latest cyberattack by nation state cybercriminals targeting water facilities in small towns across the United States.
The “People’s Cyber Army of Russia” took credit last Saturday for the incident on the messaging app Telegram. A message accompanying the video read: “We continue to look partially cover our series of work on US infrastructure. Today, we’ll look at Indiana. Let’s consider the work on municipal water treatment plants. Enjoy watching, friends.”
The group has also claimed responsibility for a January cyberattack on a water facility in Texas, which caused a tank to overflow.
