No the call to increase cyber security on infrastructure was 15+ years ago when we started integrating it with Internet connected computers.. They've ignored it and will continue to until there's a serious terrorist attack or something. Then they'll pass some security theater law that just hurts regular people somehow.

No the call to increase cybersecurity on infrastructure was 16+ years ago before we started integrating infrastructure with networked computers.

This is such a lazy and dumb take. The best time to plant a tree was yesterday, the second best time is today.
