Blockchain Aids Water Regulation In South Africa
The blockchain company, Hashcash will become crucial in the regulation of water in South Africa. The company will lend its services to implement a high-tech infrastructure to monitor water usage. After the water crisis this year, this is a vital issue.

Critical East Coast Water Utility Company Crippled by Sophisticated Ransowmare Attack
Criminals have shown a tendency to deploy major attacks during troublesome times. Hurricane Florence wreaked havoc in the US not that long ago. It now appears one local water utility company is being targeted in a major ransomware attack. It is a very troublesome development, for many different reasons.
Ransomware Attacks Remain Problematic
The East Coast of the United States suffered quite a bit of damage courtesy of Hurricane Florence. Although the country has seen its fair share of hurricanes, cleaning up after the fact is always a problematic venture. It seems criminals know those struggles all too well and try to exploit lingering weaknesses during this most opportune time.

IoT Hackers Could Hit a New Low By Targeting Water Supplies
By hacking into fleets of vehicles, cardiac devices, and baby heartbeat monitors, we thought IoT hackers had already hit a new low. Beyond manipulating our data or draining our bank accounts, hackers can cause irreversible damage to our health. So, perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the next IoT hack on the horizon could be something even more serious.
By 2025, approximately 8 billion devices will be connected to the internet. That’s 8 billion possibilities for cybercriminals that, so far, have proven IoT breaches akin to stealing candy from a baby. When you also consider that by that same year, two-thirds of the world will have limited or scarce access to water, it becomes a powerful resource to control.
