Colorado Water Utilities Hit by OT Cyberattacks; Equipment Settings Altered

Colorado water utilities suffered cyberattacks targeting operational technology (OT) systems, with hackers changing equipment settings, disabling remote access and alarms, and altering pumping cycles. The incident underscores the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to OT-specific intrusions, though the full scope and attribution remain unclear. This marks a notable escalation in attacks on US water systems, which have been a focus of federal warnings.
