This being Hacker News and all I have to wonder - was this remote control system installed in a hurry, and is it thus potentially more vulnerable to remote attack than it might otherwise be? Hope not.
- arlort 3y agoIt's a geotermal plant, what is an hacker going to do to damage it that is worse than what's already going on And even if they interrupt service it's not like they aren't expecting service interruptions anyway (given the whole imminent volcano eruption)
- probablypower 3y agoNo, it is not remote in the 4g sense, but in that they can control the machines remotely via the national control room. that scada network is secure and air gapped.
