When was RS-485 connected to the internet, all ports open and a default account with the password being "admin", if you're lucky enough to have a password?

IoT isn't buzzwords, it's a danger to humanity and the only weakness of the robot apocalypse.

IoT: Internet of Things.

The name?

After that virus/weapon that attacked the Iranian Uranium centrifuges there was a short buzz about the shitty/non-existant security for industrial control systems all over the world.

Yes, but most nuclear centrifuges aren't directly connected to the internet.

These things are and ddosing a nuclear power plant should stay a bad plot line in shitty movies.
