A UK power plant was shut down for four days, and the government blames Iranian hackers.

The NSA Chief Told You to Keep Water Systems Off the Internet. He Missed the Point.

📅 August 11, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

The ex-NSA chief’s warning to keep water systems off the internet misses the real problem: the legacy industrial controllers that were never designed to face network-level adversaries.
