Florida's Water Hack: Poor IT Security Laid Bare

Like other small towns, Oldsmar likely faces budget restrictions, which puts it in the difficult position of balancing scarce resources. But the hack shows that despite the increased focus on industrial control system and SCADA security, a calamity could be a ghostly mouse click away.
The city hasn t yet revealed more details, but Oldsmar s IT security problems have been laid bare in an advisory issued by the state of Massachusetts to its own water treatment plants, as reported by The Associated Press.
And if you suspected that Oldsmar s IT security controls were substandard, then you were correct.
The Massachusetts advisory says all of the computers at the Florida plant were network-connected to the supervisory control and data acquisition - aka SCADA - controls, and all were running 32-bit versions of Windows 7.

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Utility department officials spoke with ABC7 about the recent hacking of the water treatment plant in Oldsmar. A hacker broke into the computer system and raised sodium hydroxide in the water to a dangerous level. A worker noticed something was off before any harm could be done.
“A little surprised, a little concerned that another utilities agency obviously had some issues,” said Bill Riebe, Utilities Director for the city of Sarasota. “It’s impossible for that to happen here and the reason being is our computer system that we use to run our water treatment plant is completely isolated as a stand alone system, it’s not connected to the internet, the outside world in anyway.” ....
