Alleged Cyber Attack on U.S. Water Plant is Propoganda To Curb Internet Freedom

The Washington Post is reporting that recent damage to an Illinois water treatment plant was a cyber attack by foreign hackers, "Foreign hackers caused a pump at an Illinois water plant to fail last week, according to a preliminary state report."

The narrative of the attack is that a Russian-based hacker created minor "glitches" in the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) which, according to Krebs on Security, is "designed to monitor and control complex industrial networks." Apparently, it caused the system to turn on and off, resulting in the burnout of a water pump.

Despite the alarmist title of the article, DHS spokesman Peter Boogaard cautioned "At this time there is no credible corroborated data that indicates a risk to critical infrastructure entities or a threat to public safety.”

Although the "original source of the information was unknown and impossible to immediately verify," the claim is allegedly made in a “Public Water District Cyber Intrusion” report.  Industry expert and Department of Homeland Security adviser, Joe Weiss, as if on a publicity tour, called both the Washington Post and Wired with alarmist rhetoric.

Weiss conclusively told the Washington Post, "This is a big deal. It was tracked to Russia. It has been in the system for at least two to three months.  It has caused damage. We don’t know how many other utilities are currently compromised."

Yet, the DHS maintains that there is no credible data or threat, and Don Craven, a water district trustee, told the State Journal-Register that they don't know what caused it and that "the water district is up and running and things are fine.”
