August 8, 2024

INCIDENT

Greer, South Carolina-based Blue Ridge Rural Water Company, Inc. suffered a cyberattack on its corporate network late last month which was a separate system from its water management network.
The rural water utility said it suffered the attack July 23 and quickly shifted into defense mode by implementing its security program. While this attack “only” hit the corporate network, it is another indication water systems remain in the sights of threat actors.
