Indeed; The stupidity of the human race seems to know absolutely no
bounds...Einstein was right (paraphrased: "The only two things which I
believe are infinite are human stupidity and the universe...and, to be
honest, I'm not so sure that the universe is infinite" ;)...

It shouldn't be connected to anything...and if you really, really need
networking for some reason then use your own secure system, rather
than attach it to the one that any old Joe or Joanna can get access
to...usually, I'd presume that no control system is under the control
of anything that's connected to anything outside the facility...but
then, I'd expect that they'd have the sense not to have the internet
at all, so I'm not so sure about that anymore...
