After the pipeline got shot down, it got me thinking about our electrical grid. If they managed to sit it down for just a few weeks, the damage and loss of life would be catastrophic. Why on earth are these systems even accessable to anyone outside this country?

The part that got hacked was the billing, so that they could collect and bill based on usage, not the actual pipeline operations. Why is it on the internet? Because no one wants to go back to paper bills and writing checks. It’s online because online billing *has* to be online.
