22-Year-Old Charged With Hacking Water System and Endangering Lives

Wyatt A. Travnichek, 22, charged with tampering with a public water system and reckless damage to a protected computer during unauthorized access. If found guilty, he faces up to 25 years in federal prison and a total fine of $500,000. The development comes months after unidentified actors staged an intrusion at a water treatment facility in Florida and changed a setting that drastically altered the levels of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the water in the state of Florida. The indictment doesn’t specify if the attack was successful.
