Y2K State Surveys Security Hole
By Mike of NetworkCommand

Overview:
=========
Y2K information subject to exaggeration or gross understatement.

Issue:
======
Because no one is really sure what to expect, be sure to expect the
unexpected.

Platform Effected:
==================
Earth.

Summary:
========
Currently, a State Government web site is providing Y2K Preparedness
information to the general public. You, as a citizen, may go and review
this information. You can view the status of Public Utilities (gas, water,
power), Health Care Providers, the 911 system, Telecommunications, etc.
You can read what you might expect:

-We're almost done.
-We do not impact essential functions.

You can read what you might not expect:

2) Do you have, manufacture, or distribute any equipment controlled by
computers? NO

3) If you answered "yes" to the above question, can failure of computer
controlled equipment cause untreated sewage to be released to the
environment or an interruption of service? YES

So, does this company have any computers? Or, could the failure of those
computers they don't have cause the the untreated sewage to be released?
