s0nicfan 02/08/21 5:53:26 PM #1:	And this isn't even the first time this has happened. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55989843 A computer hacker gained access to the water system of a city in Florida and tried to pump in a "dangerous" amount of a chemical, officials say. The hacker briefly increased the amount of sodium hydroxide (lye) in Oldsmar's water treatment system, but a worker spotted it and reversed the action. Lye is used in small amounts to control acidity but a large amount could have caused major problems in the water. Oldsmar Mayor Eric Seidel said: "There's a bad actor out there." No arrests have yet been made and it is not known if the hack was done from within the US or outside. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
