An Italian company that provides drinking water to nearly half a million people is experiencing some technical disruptions following a ransomware attack.
Alto Calore Servizi SpA runs the collection, supply and distribution of drinking water for 125 municipalities Avellino and Benevento — two provinces in southern Italy. The government-run company also manages sewage and purification services for both provinces.
The company manages 58 million cubic meters of water a year. But on Friday, the company said a recent hack rendered all of their IT systems unusable.
