After a series of cyberattacks targeting America’s water infrastructure, a group of hackers have launched a program to help small, vulnerable water utilities across the country combat similar attacks.
DEF CON Franklin, a project from the Cyber Policy Initiative at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, has teamed up with the nonprofit group National Rural Water Association to open the Water Watch Center, which aims to provide direct support to water systems that routinely monitor and adjust safe drinking water across the country.
