The Only Surprising Thing About the Cyberattack on a Water Treatment Plant in Florida Was That It Doesn’t Happen More Often Slate 2/9/2021 Fred Kaplan © KENZO TRIBOUILLARD/Getty Images Water runs from a faucet of a water fountain. KENZO TRIBOUILLARD/Getty Images The only surprise about last week’s hacking of a water-treatment plant in Florida is that this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often. The intrusion was all too easy. The hacker entered the plant’s control system through a commonly used tool called TeamViewer, which lets engineers monitor the network’s machines and adjust their settings remotely. The hacker boosted the level of lye an ingredient in drain cleaners from 100 parts per million, its normal level, to 11,100 parts per million, which would have poisoned anyone drinking the water.

If the operator had been reading or snoozing, letting the system run on autopilot, as sometimes happens at computer-controlled utilities, disaster would have struck.
