Russian Military-Linked Hackers Sabotage US Water Utilities

A group of hackers linked to Russia's military intelligence unit, Sandworm, known as Cyber Army of Russia Reborn, has claimed credit for targeting the digital systems of water utilities in the United States, Poland, and France, attempting to sabotage critical infrastructure. The group has posted videos on Telegram showing their manipulation of control systems in these utilities, causing disruptions such as overflowing water tanks in Texas and tampering with a small water mill in France. A new report by cybersecurity firm Mandiant has linked Cyber Army of Russia Reborn to Sandworm, raising concerns about the group's aggressive and dangerous actions, which go beyond previous cyberattacks attributed to Sandworm.
