Congressmen ask DOJ to 調査／捜査する water 公共事業（料金）／有用性 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセス, 警告 it could happen anywhere
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Three members of 議会 have asked the U.S. 司法（官） Department to 調査／捜査する how foreign hackers 違反d a water 当局 近づく Pittsburgh, 誘発するing the nation's 最高の，を越す cyberdefense 機関 to 警告する other water and 汚水-治療 公共事業（料金）／有用性s that they may be 攻撃を受けやすい.
In a letter 解放（する）d Thursday, U.S. Sens. John Fetterman and （頭が）ひょいと動く Casey and U.S. Rep. Chris Deluzio said Americans must know their drinking water and other basic 組織／基盤／下部構造 is 安全な from "nation-明言する／公表する adversaries and テロリスト organizations."
"Any attack on our nation´s 批判的な 組織／基盤／下部構造 is 容認できない," Fetterman, Casey and Deluzio wrote in their letter to 司法長官 Merrick Garland. "If a 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセス like this can happen here in western Pennsylvania, it can happen anywhere else in the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs."
The 妥協d 産業の 支配（する）／統制する system was made in イスラエル, and a photo from the 地方自治体の Water 当局 of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, 示唆するs the "hackivists" deliberately 的d that 施設 because of the 器具／備品's link to イスラエル. The image of the 装置 審査する shows a message from the hackers that said: "Every 器具／備品 `made in イスラエル´ is Cyber Av3ngers 合法的な 的."
A group using that 指名する used 同一の language on X, 以前は Twitter, and 電報電信 on Sunday. The group （人命などを）奪う，主張するd in an Oct. 30 social マスコミ 地位，任命する to have 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスd 10 water 治療 駅／配置するs in イスラエル, though it is not （疑いを）晴らす if they shut 負かす／撃墜する any 器具／備品.
Casey's office said it was told by U.S. 公式の／役人s that they believe Cyber Av3ngers is indeed behind the attack. The Aliquippa water 当局's chairman, Matthew Mottes, said 連邦の 公式の／役人s told him that hackers also 違反d four other 公共事業（料金）／有用性s and an 水槽.

The 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスd 装置 was in a pumping booster 駅／配置する owned by the 地方自治体の Water 当局 of Aliquippa.

"We´ve been told that we are not the only 当局 that´s been 影響する／感情d in the country, but we are believed to be the first," Mottes said in an interview.
主要な cybersecurity companies Check Point 研究 and Google´s Mandiant have identified Cyber Av3ngers as hacktivists 提携させるd with Iran's 政府.
Since the beginning of the イスラエル-Hamas war, the group has 拡大するd and 加速するd 的ing Israeli 批判的な 組織／基盤／下部構造, said Check Point's Sergey Shykevich. Iran and イスラエル were engaged in low-level cyberconflict 事前の to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on イスラエル and cybersecurity 専門家s have said they 推定する／予想するd a rise in hacktivism in 返答 to イスラエル´s attacks in Gaza.
The 装置 違反d in Pennsylvania was made by イスラエル-based Unitronics, によれば the U.S. Cybersecurity and 組織／基盤／下部構造 安全 機関. Known as a programmable logic 監査役, it is used across a wide spectrum of 産業s 含むing water and 汚水-治療 公共事業（料金）／有用性s, electric companies and oil and gas 生産者s. It 規制するs 過程s 含むing 圧力, 気温 and fluid flow, によれば the 製造業者.
Unitronics has not 答える／応じるd to queries about what other 施設s with its 器具／備品 may have been 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスd or could be 攻撃を受けやすい.
専門家s say many water 公共事業（料金）／有用性s have paid insufficient attention to cybersecurity.
In Pennsylvania, the 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセス 誘発するd the water 当局 to 一時的に 停止（させる） pumping Saturday in a remote 駅／配置する that 規制するs water 圧力 for 顧客s in two nearby towns. 乗組員s took the system offline and switched to 手動式の 操作／手術, o fficials said.
The attack （機の）カム いっそう少なく than a month after a 連邦の 控訴，上告s 法廷，裁判所 決定／判定勝ち（する） 誘発するd the 環境の 保護 機関 to 無効にする a 支配する that would have 強いるd U.S public water systems to 含む cybersecurity 実験（する）ing in their 正規の／正選手 federally 委任統治（領）d audits. The rollback was 誘発する／引き起こすd by a 連邦の 控訴，上告s 法廷，裁判所 決定／判定勝ち（する） in a 事例／患者 brought by Missouri, Arkansas and Iowa, and joined by a water 公共事業（料金）／有用性 貿易（する） group.
The Biden 行政 has been trying to shore up cybersecurity of 批判的な 組織／基盤／下部構造 - more than 80% of which is 個人として owned - and has 課すd 規則s on 部門s 含むing electric 公共事業（料金）／有用性s, gas pipelines and 核の 施設s. But many 専門家s complain that too many 決定的な 産業s are permitted to self-規制する.
In its 警告 Tuesday, the U.S. cybersecurity 機関 said 攻撃者s likely 違反d the Unitronics 装置 "by 偉業／利用するing cybersecurity 証拠不十分s, 含むing poor password 安全 and （危険などに）さらす to the internet."
Mottes said he doesn't know how the 装置 in Aliquippa was 切り開く／タクシー／不正アクセスd, but that he 信用d the 連邦の 機関's judgment.
