'Vigilant'? Hardly. If your plan was Vigilant it would have involved actually looking at something rather than giving them and their kids injections in the eyes of radioactive napalm-spiders.
The people responsible for this are the ones who shared credentials for critical systems on front-end web services. Those who made it so that the control systems were connected to the public Internet.
The hackers were, according to the report, basically as clueless as the security bods and management who enabled them. The hacker was probably just a script kiddie arsing about and found this system, or a student looking to drop his water rate. He/she may not even have known it was a control system. So save the "crush their testicles with Osmium-booted rhinoceroses" talk for the people who caused the problem rather than those who bumbled into exploiting it.
