Watch the Water
New Jersey-based company responsible for providing water to more than 14 million people was hit by a cyberattack which appears to only resulted in the loss of billing systems, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Monday.
American Water Works Company, which first learned of the attack on Oct. 3, said there does not appear to be any impact to water or wastewater services. No ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for the attack on the company, which has operations in 14 states and serves at least 18 military installations.
There has been a steady increase in cyberattacks against water facilities in recent years, as both states and criminals exploit the sector, which experts deem vulnerable. The White House has spent many months warning about the vulnerabilities of the more than 170,000 water systems in the United States, including by sending a letter to governors in March.

Cybersecurity Incident Hits America's Largest Regulated Water & Wastewater Utility Firm
The largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the United States revealed in a filing published on the SEC's website that it has discovered a cybersecurity breach on its computer networks and systems.
New Jersey-based American Water Works wrote in the filing that last Thursday, it "learned of unauthorized activity within its computer networks and systems, which the Company determined to be the result of a cybersecurity incident."
"Upon learning of this activity, the Company immediately activated its incident response protocols and third-party cybersecurity experts to assist with containment and mitigation activities and to investigate the nature and scope of the incident," American Water said.
It noted, "The Company has taken and will continue to take steps to protect its systems and data, including disconnecting or deactivating certain of its systems."
So far, the company "currently believes that none of its water or wastewater facilities or operations have been negatively impacted by this incident." However, it pointed out, "The company is currently unable to predict the full impact of this incident" but "does not expect the incident will have a material effect on the Company, or its financial condition or results of operations."
American Water stated on its website that it provides drinking water and wastewater services to more than 14 million people with regulated operations in 14 states and on 18 military installations.
