As to the reactor thing, you might be able to damage it, but any sane design will mechanically fail safe. And the reactor stuff might be airgapped anyway, preventing most remote cyberattacks. -Tell that to the USA. I remember a story of 2 guys that, using just a laptop from freaking 2004, hacked into a nuclear reactor. They gained Full, 100% control of all systems. They then got out of the reactor's network and left because they are not stupid, they didn't want to play with something so dangerous.

-I wasn't saying Hacking stuff like that was so simple that even a monkey can do it. But by Modern Hacker standards, you don't need to be a master, not even "great".

Also, just had an idea, and also an assumption. Due to lack of time I'll just say the later: We know writers write what they know, and at times avoid what they don't even if it would lead to "What an Idiot" moments. So, what if Cinder can hack into the AKs through the CCT, because Atlas didn't use an isolated network with them (or probably even if they used one; Out-of-Universe explanation being because Miles has either no idea about isolated networks or at least how they work and as such didn't include it).
