SNIPPET: “A water-pump failure in Illinois that appeared to be the first foreign cyberattack on a public utility in the United States was in fact caused by a plant contractor traveling in Russia, according to a source familiar with a federal investigation of the incident.
Investigators analyzed log files and connections to foreign Internet protocol addresses within the utilitys computer system, said the source, who was not authorized to speak for attribution. No indictors of malicious activity were found in the computer system of the Curran-Gardner Townships Public Water District in Springfield, the source said.”
