    I don’t know about that part. Just that it was all over the news when it happened here and I later read about the details as to how they did it.

    I would have assumed the makers of the pumps would had put into them a little tighter security but then again look at some of these password and other web hacks we routinely see.

      You’d be surprised how many times “good enough” is considered “good enough” when it comes to IT and security, even when it’s really the bare minimum.
