Shadow, Technology Marches On, remember? Hackers these days have proven that such thing is possible, and in some cases laughably easy to compromise (at least in the USA).

And nope, no need for top-grade equipment or even Mad Haxing Zxillz, just a laptop and above-basic knowledge of what you're doing. Obviously, much easier to something with some kind of connection such as modern cars. But has been proven possible, more than once.

The USA even suffered 2 consecutive cybersecurity compromises in 2014, and IIRC even got themselves a virus infected which I think was called Heartbleed or something during one of those compromises (and when I say USA, I mean the government, the guys you expect would have the most skilled people and equipment). The 2nd happened about a few months after the first, and both were considered the most dangerous to ever hit the USA when they appeared.

On a sidenote, are nuclear reactors normally connected to some external network wired or wirelessly?
