Upper East Side Legionella tests expand to 76 buildings; remediation underway

NYC health officials say cooling towers on the Upper East Side testing positive for Legionella have risen from 31 sites to 76, with 57 remediated and 19 more ordered to remediate. The outbreak has sickened about 60 people and sent 49 to the hospital across ZIP codes 10028, 10128 and 10075. Initial testing is complete and officials say there is no extra indoor risk, but further testing is needed to identify the specific towers responsible as remediation continues.

UES Legionella Update: 76 Buildings Test Positive, 45 New Addresses Named

NYC health officials say 76 Upper East Side cooling towers tested positive for Legionella by PCR, up from 31 last week, with 45 new addresses released (including Spence, Dalton, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art). Of the 76 towers, 57 have been disinfected and 19 remain to be remediated by Thursday. PCR detects bacterial DNA in water, not live bacteria; confirmatory culture testing is ongoing to identify sources. The outbreak centers ZIP codes 10028, 10128, and 10075, with 60 sick, 15 hospitalized, 34 recovering and 11 not hospitalized. Last week 31 towers were remediated (Guggenheim Museum, Asphalt Green).

Public Rainbow Tables Sharpen NTLMv1 Attacks, Prompting Urgent Remediation

Mandiant publicly released Net-NTLMv1 rainbow tables, making NTLMv1 hash cracking practical with modest hardware and lowering barriers for admin-level credential compromise. The dataset, hosted via Google Cloud, underscores the urgent need to disable Net-NTLMv1 and migrate to NTLMv2; organizations should monitor for LM/NTLMv1 usage in Windows Event logs (e.g., Event ID 4624) and implement robust detection and remediation to prevent post-compromise downgrades and broader AD compromise (e.g., DCSync attacks).

Radioactive Chemical Leak Contained and Cleaned Up at Monticello Nuclear Plant

State agencies are monitoring a nuclear power plant in Monticello, Minnesota, after 400,000 gallons of water containing a radioactive chemical leaked into the ground at the site. The leak involves tritium, a naturally occurring radioactive form of hydrogen that is produced in the atmosphere and is a byproduct of electricity production by nuclear power plants. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) agency says the leak hasn't left the facility or contaminated drinking water sources. Xcel Energy is pumping contaminated water through extraction wells, some of which are being reused on the site. The MPCA, MDH, and Minnesota Department of Natural resources are reviewing data, well sampling results provided by Xcel Energy, and overseeing remediation efforts.
