Sigh…

This ‘problem’ has been a known problem long time, just like the muni power systems…

Cyberattacks targeting municipal water systems have been reported in at least seven states this week, prompting the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency to warn utilities nationwide that hackers are trying to disrupt critical water infrastructure.

In a public service announcement Thursday, the agencies said water and wastewater utilities have reported incidents to the FBI, with some malicious activity degrading water operations. The announcement does not name the states.

The number of systems out there with passwords that literally have NEVER been changed, have almost ‘no’ security on them, yada, yada, yada…

And the responses have been, “Oh, nobody will ever bother ‘us’…”

But think about it, if you don’t have water, or power, what do you do?

Do you have a  generator, a cistern? Bottled water? How ‘fresh’ is that bottled water?

No power? How do you cook? How much connectivity will you have when your phone dies, because you can’t charge it? No internet, TV or anything else…

And you won’t be able to buy groceries, since the stores will be without power too…

No gas for you (no power to pump it), etc. etc. etc…

Now what???

How prepared are you?
