Article content Two days before Superbowl LV in Tampa in early February, someone hacked into a water treatment plant in nearby Pinellas County and tried to poison Florida’s water supply. The unknown attacker used a password to break into the remote access software platform that controls the plant and adjusted the level of sodium hydroxide to more than 100 times normal levels – an act that would have had catastrophic consequences had a sharp-eyed operator not spotted the move and re-adjusted the chemical levels. American investigators were contacted by Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, which has experience with water facility attacks, after a similar incident in 2020 that the NCD’s director said was “a changing point in the history of cyber warfare.” He noted that the attack against Israel was not accompanied by a ransom demand, suggesting it was not the work of cyber-criminals.
