Apparent cyberattack destroys pump at Ill. water utility

A pump at a public water utility in Springfield, Ill. was recently destroyed after cyberattackers gained access to a SCADA system controlling the device, according to a security expert who said he obtained an official report about the incident.

A spokesman from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security DHS today confirmed the pump incident, but said it’s too soon to say whether it was the result of a cyberattack.
