who in their right mind would put the control structure for a power grid, on something which can only be accessed when the same power grid is functioning

Could the Internet Be Taken Down In 30 Minutes? 289

GhostX9 writes "Tom's Hardware recently interviewed Dino A. Dai Zovi, a former member of Sandia National Labs' IDART (the guys who test the security of national agencies). Although most of the interview is focused on personal computer security, they asked him about L0pht's claim in 1998 if the Internet could still be taken down in 30 minutes given the advances on both the security and threat sides. He said that the risk was still true."
