Iranian hackers breached the control system of a dam near New York City, an infiltration that raised concerns about the security of the country's infrastructure, it has been revealed.

The computer systems controlling the Bowman Avenue Dam in Rye, around 20 miles from New York City, were hacked from the Middle East in 2013 and could have caused surrounding areas to flood. 

The hackers gained access to the dam through a cellular modem, the Wall Street Journal reported, sparking worry all the way up to the White House.

Trial run for many dams I bet. Hoover would be devastating. Another huge victory for obama and his goals for us.
