Johan No.1 had a comment on this yesterday, I think it deserves to be repeated.
Such poor security simply cannot be allowed. Now he shut down the facility, but he could just as easily have contaminated the drinking water and infected 140,000 residents.
If it looks the same in more places (and it probably does), it is far too easy to paralyze large parts of society. Among the residents, you can also find employees in the police, healthcare, emergency services, and the military, so while you can easily overwhelm the healthcare system, you can also disable the parts of society needed in a crisis.
“On January 30, a man entered the Hässlö water treatment plant in Västerås and shut down the entire facility. The 30-year-old man, who is charged with sabotage, has gang connections, according to DN. He has been convicted, among other things, of handling drugs for the criminal network Death Squad in 2019.
The man entered the area through an unlocked gate and then through a door, which was also unlocked. Once inside, he managed to cut off the power to the water treatment plant – which supplies water to 140,000 residents.
The sabotage has raised questions about security, as water supply is a critical part of Swedish national defense.
– Functional water supply is absolutely crucial. Without water, we cannot defend our country, says Pär Dalhielm, CEO of the industry organization Swedish Water to DN.”
