Reminder: Most utilities in the US, especially water / wastewater, rely on their vendors to implement most of their technical systems because they don't have the head count to do it themselves. All these Internet-connected PLCs? I would bet 90%+ were hooked up by vendors, who also stamped them as "secure," and the utilities simply knew they worked. Once again, fuck this industry and its continuous failure to deliver on its promises to anyone except shareholders.
