Default Malicious Virus Shuttered Power Plant

What kind of lame *** company allows a third-party contractor to insert anything, especially a thumb drive, into a mission critical system? A computer virus attacked a turbine control system at a power company when a technician unknowingly inserted an infected USB computer drive into the network, keeping a plant off line for three weeks, according to a recent U.S. government report.
