"Perfect Citizen will look at large, typically older computer control systems that were often designed without Internet connectivity or security in mind. Many of those systems—which run everything from subway systems to air-traffic control networks—have since been linked to the Internet, making them more efficient but also exposing them to cyber attack."
Have we all gone mad?I find it hard to understand that a nuclear power plant, air-traffic control network, or electrical grid would be 'linked' to the Internet in the interest of 'efficiency'. Air gap them all and let them apply for "Inefficiency Relief" from the $100 million relief fund.
