once they got into the SCADA system they could do just about anything they want to the system and once in at that point change the passwords to remove theor access. from there they can steal anything and everything from their servers including propiraty (sp) information.

Once in, it is easy to frick it all up. it is all automated and easy to manipulate. that is the point of using a SCADA system, it talks to the PLCs in the field that monitor and manipulate all the valves pumps and breakers.

One key thing you are forgetting about SCADA: There are hard limits in the protection methods, applications and interfaces you can use with SCADA because of compatibility and interoperability issues. As a result, they have significantly more vulnerabilities that cannot be patched and must be as isolated as possible.
