Critical infrastructure giant Itron says it was hacked

Itron, an American energy technology company, has confirmed it was hit by a cyberattack in mid-April. Hackers gained access to some of its systems, but the company has since expelled them and seen no signs of further intrusions. Itron has notified law enforcement of the breach and activated its contingency plans and data backups, with operations continuing as normal. The company did not specify the type of cyberattack or its potential impact on systems.
