US official: Iran responsible for cyberattack at NY dam

Officials in Rye said in December that they had been alerted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about unauthorized access to the city's computer system.

At a news briefing Thursday, State Department spokesman Mark Toner declined to specifically comment on the prospects that Iran would be charged in the cyberattack, but said: I would say broadly that we obviously take all, seriously all such malicious activity in cyberspace.
