Good point — scary reminder that attackers can hit critical systems.
Not everything is equally vulnerable: many airports and utilities have air-gapped
or segmented controls, but legacy gear, third-party vendors, and poor configs
open doors. Patching, network segmentation, monitoring, backups, and regular
incident-response drills make a huge difference.

Also: attribution is tricky — not every hack is a nation-state, though the risk
from sophisticated actors is real. For ordinary folks, the best short-term
advice is to verify info from official channels, expect delays, and keep your
personal accounts and devices patched and on a VPN when using public Wi-Fi.

Totally agree — this is a wake-up call, and cyber hygiene plus investment in
infrastructure security are the only sane answers.
