Slammer worm crashed Ohio nuke plant network
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-08-19

The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall, SecurityFocus has learned.

"...this is not going to change unless there is a change in thinking among US leaders."

The current leaders think it's okay for hundreds of young Americans to die for Iraqi oil, and for millions of American citizens to suffer under bloated, crippling energy costs. They're not going to change their thinking. The current leaders must be changed, period.
