A water tank in Texas overflowed from a cyberattack in January, and a new report is linking the incident to hackers backed by the Russian government. On Jan. 18, city officials in Muleshoe were alerted to an overflowing water tank. When they checked it out, they learned that a software hack had caused a system malfunction, according to City Manager Ramon Sanchez.
Mandiant said hackers claimed responsibility for the Muleshoe attack in a channel on social media platform Telegram, where they posted videos that appeared to show users interfering with online water system controls in Muleshoe and Abernathy. The firm hasn’t been able to independently confirm whether the videos depict real hacking activity, but says the videos were posted the day before or the day of the Muleshoe attack.
