The scary thing about the story you link to is the incident in which denial-of-service attacks threatened astronauts' well-being. The guys who hacked the shuttle must be idiot savants smart enough to hack the system but too stupid to realize why they shouldn't or else they were psychopathic and didn't care. Sort of like people who hack into hospital systems.
