"Cyberattack on Irish Utility Cuts Off Water Supply for Two Days"

It has recently been revealed that a cyberattack launched by hackers last week against the systems of a small water utility in Ireland interrupted the water supply for two days.  The attack targeted a private group water scheme in the Erris area and reportedly impacted 180 people in Binghamstown and Drum, leaving them without water on Thursday and Friday.  According to the water utility's representative,  hackers targeted a Eurotronics water pumping system, defacing a user interface with a message announcing the hack.  The hackers also posted an anti-Israel message and said they targeted the system due to it being made in Israel.  The water utility's representative said the hackers may have breached the system due to their firewall not being "strong enough."
