Nearly lost a finger 8 weeks ago on a live panel in an old warehouse near Portland.

Some dummy hadn't locked out the main breaker on a 480 volt system and I still get jumpy around disconnects now.

Heard a similar story from a buddy who works at a data center last week.

My buddy said the same thing @kellygrant and honestly I think people are blowing it out of proportion. Most of these "threats" are just routine maintenance or minor glitches that get exaggerated. Unless you're actually seeing concrete evidence of a breach, I'd take it with a grain of salt lol.

It's like everything nowadays has this cloud of panic around it before anyone even knows what's going on. People see a popup or a warning and jump straight to "we're all doomed" instead of just waiting five minutes lol.
