Rootkits and bootloaders are a threat that cannot be addressed reasonably

horribly bad the security on PLC's and their related controllers are.
Is it just me, or . . . ?
I would have thought one of the EASIEST ways to avoid one's machine from
getting
mucked up by a rootkit or a bootloader was to make sure one's computer
was NOT
connected to some sort of internet connexion prior and during OS install.
I must say one of the things I dislike is how OS installs give the
impression that they
won't work without an internet connexion - which is, of course, a load
of old tosh.
