SCADA attack behind Milwaukee water/gas line ruptures?
News reports now say that Milwaukee suffered both a water main break and a gas line rupture. This kind of event disturbs me, because we caught Russia doing this to Georgia during last year's devastating cyber war. (Georgia the country, not Georgia the U.S. state.) Russian military hackers would break into Georgian water plants and abuse SCADA control networks to make the water pressure go wild in the capitol of Tbilisi. Then, while civil engineers were busy trying to repair broken water mains, Russia's military hackers would break into the SCADA networks for natural gas lines and would make them explode all around the workers.
That's exactly what just happened in Milwaukee. First the water main breaks, and then the workers get caught in a natural gas break. How can this be a coincidence?
