4. This is not something to laugh about
Given American companies tendency to save money and go for low bidder, it is no wonder that they did a poor job of security. Someone with a technical background can easily imagine lots of mischief one could get into in the national electrical grid. We have been discussing all the problems with e-voting, well... think about the same sloppy system designs and you have the entire power grid at the mercy of hackers or really bad guys.
