Abstract

In 2010 there was an attack on the control system of an Iranian nuclear reactor by the Stuxnet virus. However, despite this ominous development and recent reports that the threat of attacks has increased, a worrying amount of vital public infrastructure is still vulnerable. Despite high-profile attacks, there is still a lack of IT security in key public infrastructure. The author asks if it will take a major meltdown to prompt governments to take action.
