Small Kansas water utility system hacking highlights risks

A former Kansas utility worker has been charged with tampering with a public water system’s cleaning procedures. The 22-year-old is accused of shutting down the facilitys cleaning and disinfecting procedures. Small utilities such as Post Rock may not have the resources to hire dedicated information technology staff. Security experts say the case could be as simple as officials failing to revoke Travnichek’s electronic access after he quit his job. The Florida city of Oldsmar, population 15,000, reported in February that a hacker attempted to poison its water supply.”]
