According to the Associated Press newswire, utility manager Scott Borman said that the multiple hacking attempts, which downed the utility's server for three days, have been traced to a Sri Lankan ISP.
As yet, no arrests have been made.
The water utility said the hacker planted a number of files on its system, causing the email server to repeatedly crash, keeping the machine offline.
