"The Slammer attacks came after years of warnings about the vulnerability of power plants and electric distribution systems to cyber attack. A 1997 report by the Clinton White House's National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee, which conducted a six-month investigation of power grid cybersecurity, described a national system controlled by Byzantine networks riddled with basic security holes, including widespread use of unsecured SCADA systems, and ample connections between control centers and utility company business networks.

Nobody took it seriously, unfortunately.

What we are experiencing now is a real wake up call, or should be about cyberattacks. Just hope this is not a prelude/phase I to something worse.
