Hackers Silenced The Water Alarms. Insurers Are Being Asked To Fix It

Hackers disabled water system alarms, and insurance companies are being asked to address the vulnerability. The incident highlights a gap between operational technology security and insurance coverage expectations.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and their insurers need to assess whether alarm systems are adequately protected against compromise, as disabled monitoring creates undetected contamination or outage risks.
