SCADA systems are easy. No security of any kind. The controls will simply
accept any command issued by anyone. Did you know our electric grid is
SCADA-based?

Worse, the US helped install the same stuff in Afganistan, so anyone who
knows that system has a pretty good understanding of ours...

This sounds an awful lot like the purported CIA exploit of the Soviet
natural gas lines of a few years ago. Separate incidents or an urban myth in
the making?
