    from the article:

    These are the first publicly known examples of a computer network attack against an OT system resulting in a kinetic effect during wartime operations.

    Kinetic meaning explosions...

      it is a slightly unusual way to use that word yeah, even in terms of millitary usages "kinetic" munitions (those that work by throwing heavy things at high speed at a target, like bullets) are often directly opposed to "explosive" munitions (those that contain an explosive charge of some kind)

    Offline, air gapped, and limit control at gateways. Is SCADA security really that hard? If it absolutely has to tap into you company’s cloud based SAP, make the interface hardware enforceable supervisory only?
