[Fwd: Question]

I just thought I'd send this along to the list, because it had
me laughing into my coffee. My friend Olaf is not a security
practitioner. He's not even an IT guy. He's an artist and a
professional photographer.

I just love the way that any person with a brain who
encounters this internet security stuff can immediately
cut to the core of the problem as Olaf does below:

So, I'm watching a piece on the news this morning that "hackers" from
China, Russia, Korea and maybe others have got into the computers that
control the electrical grid.  My question is why the fuck are these
computers connected to the internet?
