Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Russian hackers probably sabotaged a Norwegian dam in April by remotely opening valves for four hours. Poland also reported a thwarted cyberattack that could have cut water to a major city. These attacks, linked to groups like Z-Pentest Alliance, show water facilities as vulnerable targets that could lead to bigger threats. Water utilities should boost cybersecurity with more funding, consulting, or free resources like the DEF CON Franklin project.
