Public report preview

Incident date

The Hamilton Township Municipal Utilities Authority said it identified a likely attempted cyberattack on August 5, isolated and removed the threat, and reported the event to the FBI. The New Jersey utility called the attempt unsuccessful and said drinking-water quality was not affected; DysruptionHub assesses that this may describe the absence of an intended or public-facing consequence rather than prove that no system was reached. The attack timing, affected systems, extent of access, operational effects beyond water quality and any data impact remain unresolved.
