    I can only speak for the US, but our electric grids and production are supposed to be air gapped for critical infrastructure.

    Do oil pipelines count? 'Cos Colonial got hacked and everybody thought they were airgapped.
    I think some water facility was too but no serious values were changed - 'cos and admin preferred to sit comfy at home.

      I’m not exactly standing behind it - just saying what I’ve read. I’m confident nuclear plants are after 9/11. Anything else is probably hit or miss, including petro/gas pipelines, coal, and generating plants specifically. Plus if a bad actor (likely state sanctioned) decides to, they can get through air gaps with spies/traitors/unwitting idiots with a simple USB drive. After air gapped uranium processing centrifuges were wrecked with an errant USB drive, I would expect all systems to disable or remove USB drive connectivity, but I’m sure that’s inconsistent… at best.
