A cyberattack on the municipal water authority of a town in western Pennsylvania is getting worldwide attention.
investigators say the cyberattack on Aliquippa's water authority could have come from an anti-Israeli Iranian group.
On Saturday, a piece of computer technology that monitors water pressure suddenly shut down, and a message appeared, saying the system had been hacked. It also included the words "Down with Israel."
The apparent attack sent alarms to Washington, D.C., and the Department of Homeland Security, which is now investigating.
