The United States sanctioned Russian hacktivists Yuliya Vladimirovna Pankratova and Denis Olegovich Degtyarenko, members of the Russian hacktivist group Cyber Army of Russia Reborn<\/a> (CARR), for their roles in cyber operations against U.S. critical infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In January 2024, CARR claimed responsibility for the overflow of water storage tanks in Abernathy and Muleshoe, Texas, posting video of the manipulation of human-machine interfaces at each facility on a public forum.” reads the press release<\/strong><\/a> published by the US Treasury. “The compromise of the industrial control systems resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of gallons of water. Additionally, CARR compromised the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system of a U.S. energy company, giving them control over the alarms and pumps for tanks in that system.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
