Annoyed with the downplaying of the risk to critical infrastructure systems, a hacker targets a water plant in South Houston following news of an Illinois water plant intrusion.

(Credit: pr0f) A twentysomething hacker said today that he hacked into a South Houston water utility to show that it can easily be done, after U.S. officials downplayed the risks from a report yesterday of an intrusion at an Illinois water plant.

The hacker, using the alias "pr0f," said he has hacked other SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems too.
