Hackers are alleged to have destroyed a pump used to pipe water to thousands of homes in a US city in Illinois.Hackers with access to the utility's network are thought to have broken the pump by turning it on and off quickly.
The net address through which the attack was carried out was traced to Russia (http://community.controlglobal.com/content/water-system-hack-system-broken), according to Mr Weiss. The report said "glitches" in the remote access system for the pump had been noticed for months before the burn out, said Mr Weiss.
