Mirror backup systems NOT connected to the internet might help...

If the nuclear power plants want to be safe from hacking, they should just run their network through Hillary’s server or hire the Pakistani IT techs that worked for the DEMS.

I have what some may say is a dumb question?

What in the hell are the control systems of nuclear power plants doing connected to the “cyber” world in the first place!! I think those systems could & should be separate from the personnel communications systems, and NOT connected at all to the “cyber” world.

My same dumb question applies to all the power plant systems.

Yes, the personnel need to communicate information to higher ups. To me that does not require the control systems of the plant to be connected to the cyber world at all.
