Heh, I sure hope they weren't running any GNU software On anything important.
yeah I would assume backdoors of any sort in SCADA based systems would be something one would want to pay attention to... be it GNU or M$.
Quite possible... the city that the plant supposedly hit said "what fire... what lightning?"Actually I heard that it was a lightning strike in Canada that hit a transformer and overloaded the grid causing the others to Break and that's the problem. Maybe it's really Canada aboot to start a war eh?
