Abstract:

On February 5, 2021, the water treatment plant owned and operated by the city of Oldsmar, Florida, was targeted by a cyberattack. The threat actor was able to modify water treatment chemical levels with legitimate process control software after gaining remote access to a local plant computer system. The Oldsmar incident serves as a case study for the severe safety impacts a threat actor can make when basic cyber resiliency practices are not adhered to for technologies that support critical infrastructure.
