According to CBS, American Water was hacked.
It is believed the hack was perpetrated by foreign intelligence.
American Water's website security score/rating is a "D".
When you have anything less than an A+, the only question is what date and time will you have to inform the public that your website and data have been compromised.
CBS Reports on the Situation that hit American Water.
All of the websites we host, have an A+ security rating.
Getting hacked and being subject to class action law suits by your customers for negligence (which is coming to American Water) is what happens when you host your website with a hosting company that don't provide you with an A+ rating and instead leaves the burden to you to deal with your own security rating.
Here is their security score.
Don't get American Watered. The websites we host have an A+ Security Rating out of the box, just like our website.
We are even more secure than the White House as the White House only has an A, not an A+.
