A "disaster waiting to happen": Sellafield plant admits to glaring cybersecurity failures
Briefly

The company apologized for its shortcomings after the Westminster magistrates court was presented with a litany of security failings that could have threatened the UK's national security.
Multiple investigations revealed staggering vulnerabilities, allowing easy access to critical systems at Sellafield, posing risks of devastating cyber attacks.
Staff referred to cyber shortcomings as Voldemort due to the extreme sensitivity and danger, with 75% of servers found vulnerable to cyber attacks by a subcontractor report.
Sellafield's own investigation concluded that any 'reasonably skilled hacker or malicious insider' could access sensitive data and inject malware, as highlighted in the charges brought by the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
