### Executive Summary — A remote attacker used TeamViewer to access the Oldsmar, Florida water treatment plant control system and attempted to alter water additive levels; the change was prevented by existing safeguards. The report outlines probable vectors (weak/shared passwords, phishing, stolen credentials, or insider access), notes the need for rapid log preservation and law enforcement cooperation to trace the actor, and recommends mitigations including two‑factor authentication and managed endpoint monitoring.
