9月18日（路透社）——科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯的一名发言人周五表示，外国黑客于上月袭击并操控了该州两处地方供水系统的设备。
该发言人艾利·沙利文在一份声明中称，事件发生在两家私营水务公司，每家服务的人口均不足200人，且“未对公共安全或供水服务造成影响”。

沙利文表示，州长办公室“无法确认涉及的外国势力身份，但我们了解到，全美范围内有一个伊朗支持的组织正持续试图接入饮用水和污水处理系统”。
沙利文称，黑客成功更改了设备设置，包括禁用远程访问和警报功能，以及调整抽水周期。
“这些均为短暂事件，相关风险已由水务公司自行迅速处置，随后他们向州政府通报了此事。据我们所知，两家公司的水处理流程和水质均未受到影响。”沙利文说道。
据美国网络安全与基础设施安全局（CISA）8月21日发布的一份公开建议显示，发生在8月下旬的此次事件，距全美约12个州的100家水务机构遭遇针对本地供水系统设备的一波网络攻击仅数周时间。
美国网络安全与基础设施安全局未立即回应置评请求。
此前网络安全专家曾表示，此次早期袭击与此前伊朗关联黑客组织针对可编程逻辑控制器的攻击活动类似，这类计算机设备用于管控关键基础设施网络内的机械运作。
美国联邦调查局（FBI）在7月30日的一份声明中称，此前的部分攻击包括“破坏水务运营”，例如更改IP地址、开启设备并设置密码，“导致受攻击设施的联网设备失去监控功能，在某些情况下甚至丧失运作能力”。
联邦调查局拒绝置评。

Foreign hackers targeted Colorado water systems in August, governor’s office says

Sept 18 (Reuters) – Foreign hackers targeted and manipulated equipment in two local Colorado water systems last month, a spokesperson for Colorado Governor Jared Polis said on Friday.
The incidents occurred at two privately owned utilities, each serving less than 200 people, and there was “no impact to public safety or water services,” the spokesperson, Ally Sullivan, said in a statement.

Sullivan said the governor’s office “cannot confirm what foreign actors may have been involved, but we are aware of ongoing efforts across the nation by an Iranian-backed group to access drinking water and wastewater systems.”
The hackers managed to change equipment settings, including disabling remote access and alarms and altering pumping cycles, Sullivan said.
“These were brief incidents and the risks were quickly addressed by the providers themselves, who subsequently alerted the state,” Sullivan said. “To our knowledge, treatment processes and water quality were not impacted at either provider.”
The incidents, which occurred in late August, happened several weeks after a wave of cyberattacks targeting equipment in local water systems across roughly a dozen states and 100 water entities, according to an August 21 advisory, opens new tab from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
CISA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cybersecurity experts previously said the earlier attacks appeared similar to previous Iranian-linked hacking activity targeting programmable logic controllers, computer devices used to control machinery within critical infrastructure networks.
Some of the previous attacks included “degraded water operations” including changing IP addresses and turning on and setting passwords, “resulting in a loss of view, and in some cases function, of connected equipment in targeted facilities,” the FBI said in a July 30 statement.
The FBI declined to comment.
