Critical infrastructure giant Itron says it was hacked

American energy technology company Itron has confirmed it was hit by a cyberattack in mid-April and that hackers had gained access to some of its systems.

In a legally required filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission late on Friday, Itron said it was “notified” that it had an intruder in its systems. The company did not say who notified it, but added that it subsequently expelled the hackers and has seen no signs of further intrusions to its internal systems.
