The risk is real. I wish the article would have questioned the premise though. Consolidating the entire nation's water grid into a single cloud system provides our enemies with a single Center of Gravity. The good news on the attempted hacks of local water supplies is they were thwarted. But even if they had been successful, the impact would have been limited to local only...not national.

I totally concur! That's a rookie error to consolidate a valuable resource and render it far more vulnerable and easier for the enemy to target and destroy.

Technology can be a good thing but some take advantage of it for their own disturbing desires.
