The top cybersecurity agencies in the United States warned of foreign attacks on water utilities, and the St. Johns River Water Management District confirmed that it responded to a cyberattack.
A ransomware gang claimed to have targeted the company and to have left behind samples of the stolen goods. The actual amount of data stolen in the hack was not disclosed by the attackers.
The District is keeping a close eye on its IT networks to make sure malevolent persistence isn't present.
As a result, the District is carrying on with its regular economic activities. They are unable to provide more comments until the inquiry is finished.
