Adam Flanagan, 42, of Bala Cynwyd, PA, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for hacking and damaging the IT networks of several water utility providers across the US East Coast. Flanagan worked between 2007 and November 2013 for an unnamed company that produced smart water, electric, and gas readers. He used his knowledge of the TGB stations he installed to access these devices and disable their ability to communicate with their respective water utilities’ upstream equipment. The FBI tracked down Flanagan’s actions to six incidents in five cities across the U.S.
