Florida water “hack” was just daft
 

Security - they have heard of it

While the Florida Water “hack” looked like the work of a clever cyber criminal with mass murder on their minds, it really could have been carried out by anyone in Florida, including a few of the cleverer reptiles.

The attack was against an unsupported version of Windows with no firewall and shared the same TeamViewer password among its employees.

In short it, it probably was not a hack at all. After gaining remote access to a computer that controlled equipment inside the Oldsmar water treatment plant, the unknown intruder increased the amount of sodium hydroxide -- a caustic chemical better known as lye -- by a factor of 100. The tampering could have caused severe sickness or death had it not been for safeguards the city has in place.
