So, apparently, the systems controlling all this isn't air gapped like it is at nuclear facilities for instance. Why? who thought it'd be a good idea to allow anyone the opportunity to remotely access something so important? That's the first question the FBI and Secret Service should be asking me thinks.

Not sure if it's been reported here, but I mean this news is pretty widespread already, and imo walks the line between being tech news and not. 

Edit: yup, just after I submitted it lol. Moved to off-topic

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

You could've removed the "apparently" and you still would've been correct, lmao.
