I think people donâ(TM)t realize how poorly funded the water treatment industry is in general. I donâ(TM)t pretend to know why. I work in the process automation industry and most of those facilities are running on decades old technology. Almost all would like to upgrade to a modern control system with the capability for secure remote access but canâ(TM)t get the funding so they make due with stop gap efforts that are not supported and susceptible to attack. I saw one plant that was trying to run a SCADA system on Virtual PC as Win XP because they didnâ(TM)t have the funding to upgrade to systems that support even Win 7.
