Senate Intelligence Leader Seeks Answers From Probe of Florida Water Supply Hack
A top senator on Wednesday asked for details about the probe into the hacking of a Florida water plant.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked officials at the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency for information on the breach, which sought to alter water chemical levels in the Florida town of Oldsmar to a poisonous extent.
Warner wants to be informed of the progress of the FBI’s probe into the incident and that the Environmental Protection Agency review whether the facility that was hacked in is compliance with the most recent Water and Wastewater Sector-Specific Plan. He also requested confirmation that the U.S. government is sharing timely threat information related to the incident with other water and wastewater facilities.
