Infostealer malware compromises 1,787 US water utilities, exposing credentials

SpyCloud research reveals that 1,787 of ~10,000 US water utilities had infostealer infections, with one device exposing logins for 167 metering tenants. This indicates a systemic credential-exposure risk in critical water infrastructure, though no direct operational impact is confirmed. The finding underscores the vulnerability of US water systems to cyber intrusion, potentially enabling future attacks.
