Unencrypted radio on a power grid??? What in the flip?! What wanker kept this going into the 2000s??
The utility company motto. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.
I don’t disagree. But it’s broken.

I imagine the German response here is to be annoyed that they’ve worked very hard to be able to do this without telefax, indeed without paper at all, and it’s still not considered good enough by the peanut gallery.
Very serious vulnerability. These systems likely haven’t been revised since the 80s or 90s.
I had seen the original talk and was shocked how little regulators seem to care. Especially in the post-stuxnet world, with a second cold war being in full swing.
