Well that's what happens when they use a computer software that is outdated and no longer supported by the manufacturer and personnel using the same password over and over. Thank god someone was watching the monitor and noticed the mouse pointer had moved. That is why the nuclear codes and what controls them are still on 5.25" floppy disk drives. Computer software is easy to hack and crack and create issues for people who use them. I bet they are getting the latest software and hardware update right now and someone(s) are going to be fired for this grave mistake. No system is safe now a days not matter what there is always someone smarter and brighter than someone else. Recently in the news North Korea has stolen close to a billion dollars from around the world thru computer hacking and the same can be said about Russia also,

What PO1 Petty below says is true. I remember taking my wife to a medical appointment several years ago and you could still see XP on their systems years after support ended.
