CBS News

American Water Works — among the nation's biggest water utilities — is restarting systems shut down a week ago after being hacked.

The Camden, New Jersey-based supplier of drinking water and wastewater services to more than 14 million people said it was in the process of "reactivating the systems that were taken offline due to its cybersecurity incident." 

American Water on Monday disclosed the breach of its computer networks and systems, relaying that it became aware of the unauthorized activity the previous Thursday, or October 3. It responded by shutting down its customer portal and pausing billing.
