Oh, and for you wardrivers, SCADA can be access on the road? a
new perspective on sniffing around sewer plants.

Does this mean that someone with a WLAN-enabled computer who passed such an installation could have infected it by accident? I mean if the computer with the WLAN-card was infected in the first place.

Scary thought! But I guess that the fact that it is accessible in any way wirelessly is more scary...

But anyway what do I know about the impact if this is true. I'm sitting here in a cold Sweden with polar bears running loose on the streets and know nothing about SCADA. But as I've figured during reading this thread it seams to be a vital part of the US power systems.
