The largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the U.S. just announced it was the victim of a cyberattack.

That's the information that links you to your account. It may have a routing number to your bank. It may have a credit card you use to pay your water utility," White said. American Water said it first learned of the unauthorized activity last week and began shutting down certain systems. White said this needs to be done, especially if the hack was an attempt to access the SCADA system.
