Investigations are underway after an unknown culprit tried to poison the water supply of a city in Florida, officials said.
The water treatment system in the city of Oldsmar in Pinellas County was hacked remotely on Jan. 5, and the amount of sodium hydroxide, also known as lye, was increased to more than 100 times its normal levels, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said at a Feb. 8 press conference.
