It's more alarming to me that, apparently, critical infrastructure in a nuclear plant is running old versions of Windows.
> It's more alarming to me that, apparently, critical infrastructure in a nuclear plant is running old versions of Windows Don't worry, the most important parts are running on DOS or OS/2, so we're saved from doom!
I'd rather have my local solar power plant infected with viruses or hit by cyberattacks.

What....? Seriously, wtf? Is it really that hard to provide outlets to charge your phone?
Or alternatively, how about WTF are you doing plugging your phone into this fucking cockpit? You're here to do your job and if you want to carry your phone around with you in the factory all day that's up to you, but plugging your phone into the fucking cockpit you're meant to be working on will result in demotions, suspensions and unemployment all round. More politely put, I see no obligation on employers to provide…

What makes you so sure it isn't (also) their work phone? Lots of people I know don't have a personal phone and a work phone, they just have a phone.

Possibly important to note the timing of this admission right on the heels of the announcement of our defense minister that she wants to build a 'cyber' division in the army with 13500 people working there. Thats almost 10% of our armed forces. I could only find decent reporting about this in german: http://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/plaene-der-verteidigungsm...

"Nuclear is safe", they said. I'd rather have my local solar power plant infected with viruses or hit by cyberattacks.
I wonder what scale of disaster will have to occur before information security is placed under the same legal and regulatory scrutiny as physical security?

Regulations say you can't just ran any random device (including software) there, that's unsafe.
Unfortunately regulations weren't being made with PCs in mind where anybody can plug in an infected USB stick. Or needs to in case he's a service technician. (Yes, those ports are not available for "anybody" who is there, but somebody needs to install software on those machines).
There are things I have seen I wish I could unsee to feel safe.

Modern nuclear reactor design is such that you cant cause a meltdown without violating the laws of physics.
