Treasury sanctions Russian hackers that breached US water utilities

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned two leaders of the Cyber Army of Russia Reborn (CARR) after the group claimed a January attack that manipulated water overflow tanks in Texas, spilling tens of thousands of gallons. Authorities say CARR’s actions demonstrate the risk to internet-accessible industrial control systems despite the group’s limited technical sophistication; the report also notes possible links or coordination with the Russian military unit Sandworm and mentions prior similar sanctions targeting other state-linked hacktivist personas.
