North Texas Municipal Water District

Profile narrative

NTMWD, also known as the North Texas Municipal Water District, is a public utility responsible for providing water, wastewater, and solid waste management services. Its headquarters is located in the United States of America. The organization serves communities across the North Texas region.

In November 2023, NTMWD experienced a cyberattack that impacted its business computer network and phone systems. The Daixin Team ransomware group claimed responsibility, alleging the theft of over 33,000 customer files. Despite the disruption to business functions, core water, wastewater, and solid waste operations continued without interruption.

Following the incident, NTMWD engaged forensic specialists, notified law enforcement, and worked to restore affected business network and phone services. The district reported that most business network functions were restored after the attack. These response actions reflect its commitment to maintaining service reliability and security.

NTMWD is structured as a municipal water district, which is a form of local government entity. This structure enables it to coordinate regional water resources and infrastructure investments. The organization’s role encompasses both service delivery and long-term water supply planning for the area it serves.
