Is there anything more annoying than infrastructure that turns on you? For years we've been warned about the specter of hacker-induced nuclear power plant meltdowns, breached electric-grid control systems or Samsung TVs that let hackers watch you. We've even heard we could lose our data to juicejacking, when all we want is an emergency phone charge.

And the lack of security in SCADA systems? It's more like SCAD-DON'T.
