Lol, well, you're not wrong.

Definitely need to evaluate the source of that info.

On the one hand, I'd think engineers would bring these issues up, and have ideas how to mitigate risks, in any industry that could be affected (especially power/telecom, since they affect every utility). On the other hand, I can also see management deciding to pay lip service to the identified risks.
