New report: Infrastructure cyber attack incidents

A new report from Semperis, an identity security and cyber resilience company, found that 62% of water and power operators in the United States and the United Kingdom have been targeted by cyberattacks in the past year, 80% of which have been targeted multiple times. 59% of those surveyed confirmed that cyber criminals sponsored by nation-states were behind the attacks, which experts say could be higher.

More than half — 57% — said the attacks disrupted their normal operations, while 54% suffered permanent corruption or destruction of their data or systems.
