About a month ago, multiple media outlets reported that hackers were very close to poisoning a water source located in Florida. The cybercriminals successfully made their way into the computer system controlling a water treatment facility located in the Sunshine State. They managed to gain full control over the plant’s computer system and start the process of increasing the levels of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the water. Luckily the water facility operator saw the irregularities in real-time and managed to undo the damage.
