According to a press conference today: Hackers broke into a water treatment facility in Florida, gained access to a internal ICS platform, changed chemical levels, making the water unsafe to consume
This is wild.
Here you have multiple local government officials on camera saying that a hacker was very close to poisoning an entire town by breaching a water treatment facility

Making a prior tweet more clear (watch the press conference yourself): the hacker changed certain chemicals in the drinking water treatment process, but was caught early. So there doesn't seem to have been a big impact.
Looks like the press conference occurred one hour ago. Will update with more information as we find it.
