To attack the public internet, you have to be on the public internet.

My point is :

[Critical] systems are NOT on the public internet
If only you knew.

I'd be pretty scared for my own security if someone got into that. Many what you call 'critical' systems are definatly attackable from the outside world.

I wouldn't. I'd consider the strategic nuclear silos, ICBM detection system or Predator Drone piloting system to be critical systems.
Oh no! DISN is down? Now we have to pick up a phone and do stuff the old fashioned way! Inconvenient? Sure. Critical? No.
