From the article linked:
“Well, remember the hacking incident at Monju earlier this year? A night-shift worker there downloaded a free video playback software from a supposed South Korean site and managed to infect the PC in the central control room. The PC was hacked, and email information was stolen. I haven’t seen the result of the follow-up investigation of the incident.”
What kind of computer security does the Monju nuclear power plant have that a night worker can download free video playback software and infect the PC in the central control room????
I had dinner earlier in the week with an electrical engineer friend who works for a large food company, and whose purview includes electrical safety. He said most of the bad examples for safety films are coming from South America and Asia, that US companies are pretty good on safety and maintenance.
I wonder if (hope that) it is similar for network security, that we’re generally better at it, so the really bad examples tend to come from other place, as with your SK example.
