Description
In 2021, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and Oldsmar city officials held a press conference regarding a hack on the city's water plant.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said someone hacked the system twice and messed with the mixture of chemicals.
“Because of this security breach, we are asking that all governmental entities within the Tampa Bay area with critical infrastructure components actively review their computer safety protocols and do the necessary updates that are consistent with the most up to date practices," Gualtieri said during the press conference.
