Plymouth University runs a sophisticated cyber security unit. In this years AGM presentations for the IMarEST a professor there reported that they were satisfied that, had they wanted to, they could have brought the grounding about deliberately. I trust their students are well vetted.
I would like to say that the risk is as ephemeral as that of Y2K but I am sure it isn't. I would also like to think that had I survived in work to 'do' another new building then that vessel would have been immune by dint of absence and of airgapping - both from malice and from systems failures - I am equally sure much gadgetry would be forced on me that could not meet those criteria and so I would have to go back to school before thinking of making that claim now.
