I am wondering if Watch_Dogs-style cellphone-controlled terror might become reality soon if hackers manage to control gas companies' pressure systems; they could truly cause devastating blows to arbitrary cities with very little defense against and limited tracking back to perpetrators.


Stuxnet is the same idea. But really hackers are unnecessary when you have shoddy workmanship and lax regulation.


MA is not exactly the first state that comes to mind when one say "lax regulation."

We share a border with a state that prides itself on not over-regulating things and their houses aren't blowing up.

This is just the product of good, old fashioned incompetence and apathy from top to bottom.


I mean, Massachusetts is better than others. But that doesn't necessarily mean all the regulation is robust.
