It needs to be asked again, why are critical services on the Internet ?<p>We all know why, companies are chasing profits at any cost, so hiring more people to monitor these systems as the did 40 years ago will lower the execs bonuses.<p>The US Gov should make it clear, if you are a critical service and if your service drops due to items being on the internet, for each occurances 10% of your total revenue (including your parent companies) are forfeited.<p>That will get them serious about security.
