The foreign media appears to use the Metropolitan.fi article as basis for their reporting. It paints quite the different image to what Valtia's CEO wrote in the official announcement of the attack.
This attack has been made to sound more serious than it was. These systems usually can be switched to manual, for example at our local hospital it is just a matter of flicking a switch and the computer ceases to have any control over that particular system.
Worth noting is also that heating didn't go out, it simply remained at the temperature it was at when the remote system stopped responding.
