Practical Engineering Report: A Cyber Hack on Small Texas Water Utility

On January 18, 2024, the water tank in Muleshoe, Texas, overflowed for about 30 to 45 minutes. Operators investigated and discovered that hackers had remotely logged into the town’s industrial control system (SCADA) and manipulated the pump settings.

MSN.com’s Practical Engineer covers the story in the video titled “The water tower was overflowing… then they found the Russian code.”
