Sometimes I wonder what average folks think of when they hear computer security terms. Obviously phishing has nothing to do with water (unless maybe you're using a yacht as bait or something)

No doubt water impedes more than just fingerprint recognition. If you've got water still running down your face that's probably going to make face, iris, and retina recognition more challenging as well. 

Sharing isn't caring when it comes to passwords

If I had to guess what the one key failure in the recent water treatment plant intrusion was, it would be that there was just one password shared by everyone. It wasn't the out of date operating system that let them remotely access the system, nor the lack of a firewall. There was and is a legitimate need to be able to monitor and control the system remotely and by all indications the perpetrator simply logged in with the same password as a legitimate user, which means it could be an actual employee or ex-employee, but the shared password makes it difficult to determine who and also difficult to revoke access when people leave because you have to inform everyone of the new shared password.

Don't sniff the glue while building threat models

Not all threat models are created equal. Some are just plain useless. What's pictured above is not a realistic threat, it's not something you have to plan for. More likely it's an eccentric war museum or an attempt to help a coral reef grow. But people who aren't good at evaluating threat models could certainly look at it and think it represents an actual military force instead of a military farce.

It's even funnier when you remember that this all takes place "under the sea".
