It doesn't surprise me at all either. SCADA systems invariably seem to be ancient museum pieces pressed into service out of necessity and kept in service out of inertia. The kind of shit I've seen in SCADA comms rooms blows my mind -- bare, homebrew breadboards screwed into 19" racks; SparcStations caked with dirt and grime; passwd files containing active accounts for people who are now dead. The only thing I find surprising about any of this is that it doesn't happen every single day.
