💧Hackers targeted municipal water systems in Cape May and Woodbine💧Officials say drinking water was never affected by the attacks💧Cape May's limited automation may have helped prevent a bigger breachHackers targeted two South Jersey municipal water systems during the week, but they ran into an unexpected obstacle — much of the equipment wasn't connected to the internet.
At least 30 attempts have been made in seven states to digitally break into municipal systems, according to the FBI.
Hackers tried to seize control of small computers used to operate equipment such as pumps and valves that help deliver drinking water to millions of people.
Cape May water system serves several communitiesMullock said his water system supplies the City of Cape May, West Cape May, Lower Township, Cape May Point, and the United States' only Coast Guard Training Center located in Cape May City.
For now, officials say the cyberattacks did not affect the safety or quality of drinking water in either municipality.
