The Iranian government launched a cyber-attack against a dam in suburban New York in 2013, the Justice Department is claiming in an indictment, a source told the New York Post.
The federal government is drawing up the indictment, which is expected to be handed down soon.
Although hackers were unable to take control of the Bowman Avenue Dam in the suburban town of Rye, they managed to access an unspecified system, the source said.
The hacking has raised big concerns among the Obama administration, which has indicated that cyber-attacks are becoming more frequent.
