A week after a New York Times report revealed that at least 100 water systems were hacked in other states, Oregon Gov.
Tina Kotek’s office told OPB Friday that hackers had gained access to an Oregon water district’s core operating technology.
The cyber attacks, first reported by the Times on July 30, targeted municipal drinking water systems in at least seven states, according to the paper.
Although her agency consults with water districts on cybersecurity and threat assessments, the state’s drinking water systems are all locally managed, she said.
According to information posted online by the FBI, cyber attacks have targeted both drinking water and sewage systems in the affected states.
