" see: http://www.security-focus.com/news/6767
Yes, this has been very interesting, this story. People don't realize that a lot of these systems run on Windows NT and etc, a lot actually are on wireless networks (how convenient)... And, etc, etc, etc horrible news. Not that this should surprise anyone in security. (This may have been discussed on the giant thread somewhere, haven't checked yet).
